Re: Best Snake Pets: what are your opinions?

For the above reasons, I've really come to love the mexicana complex kings, the thayeri ssp. (variable, Neuvo Leon) in particular. Beautifully colored, small in size (3' max), generally good feeders, and sweet tempered, I really believe this is one of the most underrated snakes in the pet trade. Great little snakes!

I'm sorry to ask - I'm sure this is obvious to snake people - but what does "ssp." mean?
