    FYI, they may NOT look alike...the 3 "Florida" rat snakes that I hatched out last summer (via apparent parthenogenesis) sure don't. BUT, that might be due to the fact that their mom is a mix of Yellow, Gulf Hammock & maybe Everglades rat snakes that were captive-bred, then sold to me many years ago as young snakes (that I've never allowed to breed, & I actually have 2.2, but they've never been near each other & they live in different rooms.) Anyway, you'd think such offspring would ordinarily be identical when the mom is NOT a mix, but from what I've read, you can't quite count on that either. It's complicated... but ever so cool!
