>>One of our European posters talked about this last winter. He mentioned one or two successful hybridizations between ratsnakes from the US and Europe. I remember at the time being surprised more people didn't pick up on it, but I don't think the post was directly related to the topic at hand.

>>Unfortunately, I do not remember the species in question. If I were to guess, I'd say a Russian Ratsnake crossed with a Cornsnake.

I vaguely remember something like that, not sure, but probably wasn't that surprised myself. If I was going to try I'd probably use E. schrencki or climacophora because these seem to be most like the Pantherophis and could be more closely related than other Eurasian species. I don't keep either one anymore, however. I still keep dione and bimaculata which I've been breeding since the 90's. I've sometimes wondered if it would take and have briefly pondered about putting them together with one of my corns overwinter. Part of me doesn't like the idea of having these abnormalities around, but the other part is curious, very curious, about the taxonomy, and would like to know, haha! It probably will happen someday in the U. S., simply because they're there and the odds keep going up. That's providing it'll work, of course.

Cheers....TC
