Pyro same as Arizona Mt kingsnake?

Hi
A pyro is an Arizona mt kingsnake? I was looking into them and noticed another type a bit thinner bands not as wide.
Think called Tahurama (should have written it down).
Thank you

Yes the Arizona Mtn. King is Lampropeltis pyromelana pyromelana and the Tarahumara Mtn. King is Lampropeltis pyromelana knoblochi. Same species but different subspecies.

Both would be considered "pyros" in the industry just diff. sub-species as the previous post stated.
