The animals at the location were formerly known as intergrades of Pantherophis obsoletus obsoletus and Pantherophis obsoletus spiloides. With Burbrinks paper that split the species, the snakes at this location are now just Pantherophis spiloides.

We're using the SSAR list! This is following that list. This was what was voted to be used...

Confusing with the species but hasn't obsoletus been recorded from there also?
