hybridzation takes place with snake more often than you might think. they usually get absorbed back into one or the other spp.
FR recently made a post of the many hybrid rattlesnakes that he found and some that looked partially hybrid . Meaning they breed back and then you see some slighly confusing specimens.
I bet most cornsnakes commonly breed with other ratsnakes. but that is not really a true hybrid like the gopher/king. That is probably more of a rarity. But if it happens in nature it is natural... Natural meaning no human intervention.

I also see ugly looking cornsnakes from time to time in central and south Florida. They are darker, with remnants of four dark longitudinal lines. No doubt gene-flow from good ol' "quadrivittata" and further south, although much less abundant, possible influence from the Everglades Ratsnake(rossalleni).

I also see ugly looking people from time to time in central and south Florida. They are darker when they get a tan but most are pale white. No doubt gene-flow comes from the yanks and southerners.
