There is also a small isolated milksnake population in Cochise County, Arizona that has thus far been regarded as being celaenops.

Legal Status:  Lampropeltis triangulum celaenops has no protected status in either Texas or New Mexico. In Arizona, only the population in Cochise County is currently protected by state law.
