: Great Plains Ratsnakes were once considered a subspecies of guttata but they have been evalated to species level-E. emoryi. Checkout the Center for North American Herpetology for the latest scientific names for N.Am. herps. BTW nice photos of your intermontana, you can really see and appreciate the green hues of their blotches.

: I believe that "intermontana" is currently classified as E. guttata emoryi, and I agree with you that they seem quite different. I just picked up a pair of F1 neonates from w. CO stock, pics below, that I plan on working with. They have some unique characteristics and are a cool snake.
