:Is DNA testing able to be done on reptiles (snakes specifically) yet? Using this modern technology may be the only way to answer these tough question! But, boy, would it be expensive if it exists!
Yes, I believe there are a couple different kinds of DNA testing. I donated a Sonoran lyre snake to a guy who's doing DNA testing this summer. I believe he wants to try to figure out what they are related to. I don't think DNA tests can determine the position of a taxa by itself, however. I believe we'll have to consider several different methods to come up with a scheme people can live with.
