Lampropeltis triangulum elapsoides
A perfect example of why common names can
be confusing. Nice looker you have there.

of the drinking class!

Taxonomists have wanted to separate elapsoidies from triangulum for some time. The only reason they haven't done so already is apparent integration with temporalis, which is definitely triangulum. Armed with "evidence" they are now planning to call this integration something along the lines of "ancestral hybridization" and separate elapsoides from the rest of triangulum anyway. Not sure how I feel about all that. I see good points on both sides but tend to think that Connant got it right regardless.

I agree with the separation (for what THAT'S worth).

Oh Sir, I am laughing my ass off at you too. -Sol

Oh Hello SIR! Hello! HI.....

I can support it too but that doesn't make the integration on the east coast go away. To me the real question is going to be what to call southern coastals. Are they temporalis influenced by SKs or the other way around?

They are SKs influenced by temporalis (syspila). Trust me, my name is Joe Isuzu.

Joe,

Awesome snake. Did I see you post that on fauna in their classifieds? Are you nuts??? lol

Your colors are a little over-exposed (too bright), but it's still a nice "yellow phase". I like the yellow Scarlets better than the white ones.

Theres no overexposure there. Those are her actual colors.

OK, then the flash glare made it look overexposed...sorry...
