Thank you very much for your answers. I am very content because that makes me 2 subspecies in .

It looks like a pacific (catenifer)/great basin (deserticola) cross.

Looks like it has more pacific influence than great basin.

Great basins can be identified by their anterior striped or connected blotch patern. Often this pattern is black, or darker than the rest of the body. The blotches also sit higher on the back than they do on pacifics.

Check out the Pituophis - Care sheets/FAQs/Feature page on Kingsnake.com menu above for pix.

P.B.
