Keys can be good (although not perfect) if you are dealing with wild caught specimens. However, once they enter the captive populations, they can be inter-bred with other localities and the offspring they may present as one-or-the-other according to the key, but may in fact somewhat of a mutt (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just something to be acknowledged). Post a pic or two and I am sure those more familiar with locality specifics can at least tell you what locality it resembles, although purity of locality will remain suspect.

And congratulations on your academic endeavors!
