Hi John, I actually said, many if not most of the original animals found in the field, keyed out to be L.m.mexicana. From the keys that Bill Garska had.
Also, there is no gene flow from Where mex mex are normally found, Valley of the phamtoms, Yellow(armarillo sp) and Alverez. to where Thayeri are being found. That is currently.
the thought of geneflow is very interesting. As a species extents its range, it actually leaves the old type behind as it adapts to different(slightly) habitats.
Or at one time the habitat was all the same. Which is no longer the case. So geneflow just does not happen and may have never happened. Its sorta of a bird or mammal concept. You know, animals that can actually travel long distances.
These type reptiles may never leave a few hundred square meters their entire life. So to travel a few hundred miles to continue geneflow, is not going to happen, unless we move them. Cheers
