Come on Doug, those two snakes are EXACTLY the same thing. I bet they are from the same clutch.

Really though, Doug knows his Milksnakes. If he says it's a cross and that you probably won't be able to pin down exactly what it is a cross between then I'd believe him. Milksnakes, Kingsnakes, and just about the rest of the egg-laying constrictors in the Colubrid family can hybridize. In captivity, this has led to lots of snakes that can be difficult to pin down the origins of. For breeders and dealers this can be a problem and people might end up with a pure-looking snake that actually has some blood from another species in it. In your case, as you mentioned, it really does not matter. They make great pets either way.
