No, I have all North American stuff. I'm selectively breeding black rats for maximum black pigment ( ventrals included ). I also have some glades, and corns. I keep some northern pines as well. My curiousity on the carinata ( I've only ever handled one), and some others ie; prasina, manderins, radiata and others, is how closely you feel they are related to other elaphe.
Especially carinata since they have a more diverse diet than other elaphe. Most of us remember pretty well that bogertophis, and senticolis were once considered elaphe. I'm no biologist, but have been curiouse if any of the eastern forms are destined to be put in their own genus. Your own opinion, or any studies you no of that may be under way. Thanks in advance. Alan,
