Well crap. Just gets more confusing. Some field guides still recognize gloydi as valid subspecies, some do not. Common name is dusky hognose. And not sure about Mexican hog. Is it considered a valid species? Regardless, pretty cool little animals that have been highly successful. Probably something to do with the fact that they occur in lowly populated western US. That and the fact that they're often underground in pretty harsh habitat. Impact of humans on eastern snake species much more devastating. Too many people, not enough land.
