Zach,

Very cool. The bottom one is what we call blanchardi these days. I hear from very reputable sources (like my buddy Jose Ole) that the funky pattern is common in the Yucatan in L. triangulum, Micrurus, Pliocercus, etc. - Pretty much the whole mimicry complex. It's fascinating stuff and is very similar to th tendency for the whole mimicry complex to develop the "tangerine" look in certain areas, too (like the Sula Plain of Honduras).
