There is even less chance of a Nerodia x Thamnophis hybrid occurring, especially in the wild, than there is a longnose crossing with a kingsnake (ie. zero chance because it's not happening with the latter either); Lampropeltini clade diverged some 3-8 million years ago (nearly all the genera therein...

Re: Pituophis catenifer ssp help

Between the options of sayi and deserticola, by and away this matches sayi far more. However locality would be rather important as sayi intergrades in more than one place with deserticola, and in some broad regions with affinis (which tends to resemble sayi a lot more than deserticola does).
