: Has anyone ever done this, as some have with Elaphe and Lampropeltis? Not that I would condone it, but it could be easily done as the Drymarchon are all subspecies of the same snake, i.e., D. corais. It certainly must happen in the wild, especially with the blacktails, unicolors and yellows, there are probably hybrid animals combined with parentage of any one of these subspecies. Also, what about Eastern and Texas Indigos?
: Has that been done in captivity? I'm only interested in what has been done by captive breeding or any regional taxonamical observations, however, I don't condone the procreation of Drymarchon morphs in captivity for any reason, especially the "designer" snake trade.

Sorry for the double post; I had a misspelling. The first post should be correct, I'm anal retentive! LOL!
