I gotta tell you from personal experience, that is an impossibility.
Back in the 90's I had a large getulus collection. The "goini" would dehydrate at twice the rate as the other getulus.
There is no way they can survive in New Mexico. Possibly in the dampest moistest montane micro-habitat, but that would be too cold and too short an activity season for them to survive.
This past year my YBS hatchlings succumbed to the cold and my RES did not. That is apparently a range limiting factor for the YBS.
Same range as L.g. floridana and "goini". Same intolerance to cold, I'd imagine.
