Bless you for providing a deep belly laugh at the end of a very long day...

Golly Gee I just discovered these other green snakes. Turns out they are hybrids with corn snakes. It's as if the little green men wanted to taint our corn snakes so they made them compatible. But... it is really easy to tell pure green mambas from hybrid green mamba/corn snakes from corn snakes.

any snake that is not green is a PURE corn snake
any snake that is green AND venomous is a pure alien green mamba snake
any snake that is green AND NOT venomous is a hybrid between the two

Of course, I'm not a scientist so maybe I have no business suggesting that terms be changed, I'm curious if other terms do exists though to describe traits adopted form other species.

Did you know that according to a recent genetic study, unless you are of African decent you likely have about 11% neanderthal genetics? Possibly white skin is not of human origin :0
I'm really not sure which is worse: (1) We are all mutant hairless descendants of monkeys, or (2) we are all the inbred descendants of Adam and Eve, or (3) we were purposely genetically modified (and PURPOSELY limited) creatures made by aliens (who got tired of us and left) to be their slaves.

My corns go blue right before shedding, if yours dont, take them to a vet asap, there is something wrong with them.

What about a black mamba?

Black mamba is a corn.

No, a black mamba is a green mamba that spent too much time basking on the road.
