About Lampropeltis knoblochi Taylor, 1940
Lampropeltis knoblochi (scientific name published by Taylor in 1940) has three common names: the Madrean mountain kingsnake, Knobloch's mountain kingsnake, and the Chihuahuan mountain kingsnake. It is a species of colubrid snake that lives in western North America. This species is a coral snake mimic, with a body pattern very similar to that of the coral snake. The only key difference is that this kingsnake has white crossbands, where the coral snake has yellow crossbands. It mainly inhabits the mountains of its relatively small range within the Sonoran Desert region, located in Sonora, Mexico.
