Mtn kings are surely amongst my favourite complex and i was able to add a few zonata's this year from Jerry Kruse. Jerry was outstanding to deal with, supplied awesome animals and waited months for my Cdn arse to get in gear!
The tasty bunch...

Coastal multifasciata

Martir agalma

Sierra multicincta

Hey Rick,

tried emailing you some time ago, but to no avail. So this is probably the better avenue. Wanted to get a run down of the specimen data that will be utilized in these DNA researchings. Paul said they were primarily his and possibly a couple of other, much older preserved specimens pre-Paul. Would love to see Voss chime in on this one, as it has caused quite the stir. Thoughts? And yes, I've already spoken with Ryan and will be also sharing this research info with him. Very interesting stuff despite its frustration. I'm still skeptical of it all, to be quite honest, as I don't know what to believe anymore.

Too long ago to remember where the samples we used originated from. It was detailed in the paper so open to review. Not sure of the relevance since our study showed a considerable degree of separation between the Martir and Juarez populations. Not sure what there is to be skeptical of. PL is pretty much the expert for these southern pops and their history.

Damn you Brennan, they're stunning.

All stunning examples of the greatest snake species ever! Is that multifasciata a San Mateo?

Bingo!
