There were milksnake types and greeri(alterna, wide grey, narrow red types) But sadly, it was milksnake types that was unusual to captivity at the time. So I released the adults and kept a trio of milksnake phase neonates. My friend kept a pair of neonates. Ours did not produce albinos, even thought we did find one at the original site. And yes, those were fun times.
I have no idea why the greeri type ones never surfaced. Another conflict was, Bill published that Q kings only got 2 feet. That's what he found. We found many over 40 inches, up to 44 inches I believe. Again, we knew nothing, it was all new.
I do have other thayeri stories that interesting to captivity.
