"Forgive my ignorance, but is the Kisatchie considered to be slowinskii?"
.
.
Very sorry... We weird old guys do that occasionally.... Interchange common names with old, new, regional, etc.
.
Yes, they are the same to some.
For years, because they were considered an intergrade between Emory's (Great Plains Rat snake) and Corns (Red Rat Snake), a common name for them was the "Kisatchie Corn", indicating the general location where where they were heralded from, the Kisatchie National Forest, LA.
To many, the "Kisatchie" name implies connotatively, animals from central LA. (Of course, the same multi-name rule can apply to the specific and subspecific names!!!! )
