I have found the surest way to tell Westerns from Mexicans is by counting the small scales behind the rostral (the scales that give the upturned "nose" known as azygous scales - Mexicans should have less than 6.

The pattern is different too, my Mexican has deeper spots down his sides than the western and is a more grey colour, but this will vary from hog to hog.

Husbandry is also very similar to the western. Best of luck finding some mexicans!
