I don't think it's triangulum. I think it's mexicana. Triangulum amd mexicana have enough overlap of scale counts to confuse the matter considerably, but someone just sent in some tissue of another specimen for testing so hopefully we'll learn more. Other than that the specimen had 197 plus or minus ventrals which I felt was more in line with the closest mexicana than triangulum, and if you flip that thing over and look at the head from the ventral, and in direct comparison with a triangulum you'll see a huge difference.

First one I ever saw was at Retes' house in 78' or so.

Nuevo Leon "Milk" on the left - triangulum from Linares, Nuevo Leon on the right

LOCALITY: Traceable lineage to WC snakes from the same locality.
I don't care how far apart they are (within reason) as long as the localities are stated, buyers can make up their own minds.

NON-LOCAL or GENERIC: Lineage is not traceable to WC
Generics need love too.
