Nate, there is never any harm in asking 
At the bottom of the photo I had labelled it as a Popayan, Colombia milksnake. This line is a naturally occuring intergrade between micropholis and andesiana, and siblings possess meristic characters that are intermediate between the two subspecies.
When I first read your post, I figured that you probably thought I may have taken a pure micropholis and pure andesiana, bred them together, and this was the result. No way!! I'm not a supporter of intentionally mixing the subspecies. I do have some naturally occuring (from nature) Latin American milk snake intergrades but would never artificially produce crosses of two different subspecies myself.
Thanks,
Scott
