Re: House Snake Identification Help
Most can't interbreed. They'll happily mate but no eggs will come of it. Apparently there are a couple of subspecies that can. I wonder if B. fuliginosis and B. olivaceus are two of the few that can actually produce offspring from a pairing.
There's a lot of variability among true olives though. Some are almost black, some are teal and some are the classic olive color. The eyes (if they do stay dark) and the subcaudal scales are what make me think "intergrade?"
