Hi Terry - There seems to be two accepted data collection methods nowadays (please correct me if there are more). One is DNA and the other is morphology. Sometimes they're in agreement and than sometimes they contradict each other. It's pretty exciting to me that there seems to be alot of renewed taxonomy in all species. In some cases, like the Great Plains ratsnake and the bullsnake, there is alot of push to go back to full species status. Your input has showed me why some people still hold to an older study and publication and some people use a newer study. Now there is a renewed push on Elaphe obsoleta taxonomy. I guess with scientists it is never ending LOL, but they devote their lives to it so to speak. Thanks again Terry.
