I'm trying to get caught up!

These animals are, according to Ken Williams (1994), from an intergrade zone between Lampropeltis triangulum oligozona (from the south), L. t. conanti (from the northwest), and possibly with some L. t. polyzona influence from the northeast and L. t. campbelli influence from the north. That essentially makes them the epitome of Mexican triangulum! As this locality, Salina Cruz, Oaxaca, is a coastal one, the most readily visible genetics "should" be from conanti and oligozona.
