Nice work Cole,
I expect you to do the pinnacle work on this subject one day.
.
Seems that extreme eastern KS milks can have dorsal lateral blotches, no dorsal lateral blotches or a mix of both. Does that make eastern KS a intergrade area? Peterson calls that a syspila zone but the snakes don't read those books.Here are two milks from the same hillside in east KS.(two counties east of MO).
Note that one has dorsal lateral markings and the other does not.


You remember this one from deep in gentilis range.

Looks more like a pale then many pales I see yet its not in the correct area to be a pale.

I think we have all seen red heads fron lincoln russell and ellis but thay are rare.

Now here is a smokin intergrade fron KS flint hills.
This guy ROCKS
