Outer Banks Kingsnake

Lampropeltus getula "sticticeps"

This subspecies is not currently recognized by herpetologists but is thought to be an "relic" intergrade between L.g. getula and L. g. floridana. The description "relic" refers to the fact that the range of these two subspecies of L. getula no longer overlap.
