Mexican hogs and western hogs? Been reading up a little bit and as usual its not conclusive?

Also anyone have a good handle on their range and where or if they have intermediates?

Its not a huge concern. Just wondering. As one of the Westerns we have does not seem to meet the Western criteria. It does pattern wise, but has large scales between the rostral and supraocular.

Its suppose to be a het albino to go with an albino.

I was under the impression that westerns had small scales between those two scales.

Is this correct and are there any other characters. Thanks

The Taxonomic status of the Mexican hognose snake, by Smith and Chaizar(sp)

It will send your head spinning. Appears to be lots of exceptions in scale counts.
