This line has always been agalma....where have you been? (I don't have the strength today to answer that one....)
It has a high band count as the line of hypo-E agalma are a cross between the Sierra Juarez and the Sierra de San Pedro Martir...varying traits between both mountain ranges. They were crossed back circa 1994 for no good reason. Until science determines the Martir agalma as their own species, which it looks that way in due time subsequent to evidence from mtDNA research, I will continue to call them agalma as thats what they've been recognized as for more than half a century. Why...did you think it was something else? I'm sure you did. I could care less.
Lastly, and I'm not necessarily giving you the time of day by my lengthy response but rather educating those that might want to learn something, zonata innately tend to go off feed earlier in the year than other kingsnakes. Her first year she took quite a while to get started, as is such with zonata often times even with cb offspring. This summer she will actually be three technically, so the timing isnt off. Remember, these arent Florida kings. Maybe make a note of it or something. Trying to be supportive of you davis but you make it verrrrry tough to do so when you troll my posts after not having spoken to you for many months.
