Yeah, my bad. Thank you for calling me on it :) It probably would have come to my attention sooner or later, but I appreciate people keeping me true :)

Ah, that makes more sense :)

I mean that I was lumping them when I was putting them in last night. I was catching up with about 20 snakes and it was late and I've been studying for about 3 days straight so I was a little fried and got into a routine.

Don't just assume the snakes will always be the same if they are from the same location. I have two spots that turn up hundreds of T. sirtalis, and every now and then a radix is mixed in.

I know it is. All of the ones caught on this day were from the same location, I just caught a lot of easterns this summer and started lumping them at this point

I think this one is Thamnophis radix as well.
