As seen on my earlier thread, I recently bought a Similis, A beautiful snake but..
When I went to buy the San Franciscos, the breeder asked what else I had,
when I mentioned Florida Blues, he said I could buy this lone male from him.
I was very excited but then exclaimed at juust 'how blue' he was,
the breeder said, ah that's because he is a 'true' Florida blue, a Similis.

I was still happy to get him, even though he won't be with the Florida Blues,
but now I have several questions..

1. do people mix these up?
2. has any one ever bought a Similis or T.S.Siirtalis incorrectly due to the common name?
3. Have they been cross bred (I am assuming this is frowned upon) but what was the outcome.
4. Also, what is or is there a common name for Similis or is True Florida Blue it?

I have bought three Florida blues from Pet shops and Doncaster Expo, one is way more blue than the others, but was sold under the common name Florida Blue not the latin name,
5. could it be Similis? how would I know?
6. Apart from being 'more blue' are there any tell tell signs, as the Similis I have just looks like a bluer Florida blue?
