I agree with what Chis is saying here. I have also heard other very knowledgable milk heads speculate this also. To my very untrained eye, the temporalis from the northern part of the range look an awful lot like syspila that I have seen.



In central NC and all over SC, they don't look much like syspila to me however which is consistent with what Chris said about the further south, the more they look like elapsoides.



Does anyone know where they stand with making elapsoides its own species...lampropeltis elapsoides?
