Milk-a-thon on the 14th - Part 7

Sunherp Feb 14, 2012 10:14 AM

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.

I was wondering who was going to put up the first south of the boarder animal. Where are all our hondurensis, sinaloae, campbelli keepers? This is a milk-a-thon, and I think those all are still considered milk snakes.

L.t. gaigeae, -Dell
