It will speckle out, I'd bet on it.
It's interesting to note that splendida description includes a black belly and 23-25 scale rows at mid body.
holbrooki description includes 22-23 scale rows at midbody and a yellow ventral surface with black blotches or checkers.
Also the UT Web site indicates a "hybrid" zone. Hybrid being a poor choice of words no doubt
