In Louisiana, this species has been documented in Orleans Parish as early as I975 (Plotkin and Atkinson 1979. Herpetol. Rev. 1059) and has spread to Easton Baton Rouge, Calcasieu, St. Bernard and St. John the Baptist, and Plaquemines Parishes (Boundy 1998. Herpetol. Rev. 29:251-252; Boundy 2004. Herpetol.
