Plestiodon skiltonianus range/integrade

Post by Nature Nate »

where exactly does P.s. skiltonianus turn into P.s. interparietalis? I do enough herping right on the border of their ranges and I don't know exactly where I should draw the line for the species. is there a physical characteristic that I can look at to determine the sp? I don't understand the Calherps website distinguishing traits. can someone please simplify them?
I'm not sure I got the right sp. on this guy

Oh its somewhere near the county line...

Just a sub species, with some intergrades in the middle zone..
