Comment | |
Etymology | The specific epithet ramspotti is in remembrance of the late aspiring herpetologist Joseph Ramspott, who was from Nebraska, a state included in the western form’s range. He was a graduate student at Southeastern Louisiana University working in the Crother-White lab when he passed away in 2004. |
