Syspila are one of the smaller milks, 28" seems about average. They are not sexaully dimorphic and I would recomend keeping them seperate (although some folks have great luck keeping Lampropeltis communally).

Syspila does not hybridize with other geographically sympatric species of Lampropeltis (calligaster and getula) in the wild, but does intergrage with other subspecies of milksnake where their ranges abut. All subspecies of milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum) intergrade with all other adjacent subspecies of triangulum over relatively broad zones at the periphery of their ranges. This helps define them as belonging to the same species (according to the biological species concept, anyway). Syspila are great and Jeff H. has NICE animals.

ps: Jeff,

The syspila Dell and I got from you are doing awesome!
