No disrespect intended, but does one of the molossus reach twice the adult size of the other?



How about diet? Does one of the molossus eat only once or twice in a season in the wild while the other eats throughout the season?



How about breeding? Does one of the molossus breed once every few years and the other breed reliably every season?



What about location? Is one of the molossus montane when the other is lowland swamp?



How about denning? Does one snake den while the other brumate alone?



Just curious why anyone would WANT to combine these snakes in the first place, we sure have split MILKSNAKES for less phenotypic data...totally counterproductive to our hobby.



We keep sticticeps seperate in the hobby. Why? Because they're "different-looking" and it's fun.



We keep brooksi seperate. Why? see above reason. Goini? same thing.



Temporalis? I mean, c'mon guys. Let's not make the so-called "scientists" job easier. One day there'll be ONE SNAKE with one Gssp (facetious, BTW).



Thanks. I feel better.
