I don't know the subspecies for sure, but can pretty much gaurantee you they came from southern India, and probably within 50 miles or so of Bangalore.

The impression I got was that they were animals people found or brought in, or they paid a small amount to collect locally. Other than a couple nice king cobras, the only other snakes they had were indian cobras and russel's vipers - other common local snakes.

Good luck with yours! Keep us posted.
