I've just been writing the care sheet for the Mexican kingsnakes and got stuck on a latin name, so just thought I better check that I've understood it right:
I came to the conclusion that the Lampropeltis mexicana leonis isn't a sub-species in it's own right but part of the Thayer/Variable kingsnake family. Is that what everyone else thinks too?

I'm confused because I can't find much information on it and some people say leonis is just part of the mexicana complex as a Neuvo Leon mountain kingsnake, while others say it's a phase in Thayer's. If that's true then why haven't the other phases got their own latin name?

Everything's so vague! Help!

Thanks Meltos, you're much more knowledgeable than this smelly lot on here
