Re: What species is this?
That's what I get for looking at outdated info. I'm learning that subspecies are a grey area, some Thamnophis have recognised subspecies still, others don't.
On the ID front, I can't imagine a scale count is particularly easy on a live, moving snake. Is there a technique to counting scales? Maybe a set of photos stitched together?ChrisT. marcianus, T. e. cuitzeoensis, T. cyrtopsis, T. radix, T. s. infernalis, T. s. tetrataenia

thamnophis radix.... not intergrade, not haydeni (the subspecies doesn't exit, just color variation of mmormal radix).
