Thamnophis sirtalis pickeringii? Thamnophis sirtalis pallidulus?

T. sirtalis parietalis is the shortest "proper" way to write it. You only abbreviate the species if the subspecies is the same, eg. T. s. sirtalis, T. e. elegans or T. p. proximus. There are more rules, but who cares.

So do I, but I try to avoid it when it's possible to misunderstand what species or subspecies you're talking about.
