Yeah, I am also wondering if it isn't just that they are very secretive and much harder to find in their environment than some, instead of actually being "rare". Similar to the South Florida Mole Kingsnake(L.c.occipitolineata). That is a very fossorial subspecies that was only described to science by Price in 1987. Even years later they were only known from just a few specimens. In the past several years, there have been more of them found occasionally.
