Over here confussion is rare as all we get for the most part is orientalis. I did see some albino B. bombina offered a few weeks back on kingsnake.com, but that was a rare occassion. At your average show or in your average pet store all you will find here is B. orientalis. I can't tell you the last time I saw variegata and I have never seen maxima (except for the Nissan kind )
