Great PICs. Your asissi PIC looks exactly like mine do. Your light colored hygrophilus looks similar to some of the "yellow" phase BRB lines here in the US. How does this subspecies differ from cenchria cenchria? My Marajo Island Rainbows look like one of the darker ones in your PICs.
. I am curious about why you call the Marajo Islands Epicrates cenchria cenchria? We know them as Epicrates cenchria barbouri. If you know about the status of the work at Butantan Institute to rename some of the subspecies including barbouri please let us know. For all I know this all may be a done deal. I have not kept up with the published work on it.
Thanks for posting,
Jeff
