Description

Editor’s Note: Ruane et al. (2014, Systematic Biology 63:231-250) split the wide-ranging Milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum) into seven species, including the Western Milksnake (L. gentilis) that occurs from Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Kansas west to Arizona and north to Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota.  Lampropeltis gentilis is the only species of Milksnake occurring in Arizona.

For additional information on this species, please see the following volumes and pages in the Sonoran Herpetologist: 1988-91 Collected Papers:41-42; 2000 Aug:86-92; 2003 Feb:15.
