I just have one or two things to add, Pales are found on both sides of the Missouri River in SD (if you can even call them Pales, they look more like gentilis than anything). The range for pales in most of SD and Montana is strange in that the average milk snake from there looks nothing like the classic Pales found in N. NE and S. SD. Why is this? Gene flow all the way to MT? Maybe...or maybe just regional variations of gentilis based on soil type and habitat.
Typical screamer Pale from NE

Pale from central SD on the Missouri

I call the bottom snake a gentilis (an UGLY gentilis).
