Species ID Suggestions

Comments (2)

Bryce, did you not read my description? If this was a desert king snake, then I would have labeled it as such. I am in the intergrade zone between two subspecies. Also, when something is already labeled with a genus + species epithet, it is inappropriate to suggest an ID for a subspecies. Subspecies is completely optional and a user can label it if they wish. I am removing your ID suggestion.
