It refers to Lampropeltis pyromelana, the Mountain kingsnakes. There are many subspecies, but I most often see the Utah, Arizona, and Chihuahua Mountain kings for sale. L.p. infralabialis is the Utah Mountain king, L.p. pyromelana (what i normally see refered to as a pyro) is the Arizona mountain king, L.P. knoblochi is the Chihuahua. Hope that helps!
