The deppei from Split Rock that you are referring to are called "Rio Conchos, Chihuahua, Mexican Mountain Pine Snakes".



What I know about them is that the originals were collected about 5 years (maybe a little longer) ago by one of my best friends and his father in Chihuahua, Mexico. As far as I know, the ones that they collected were the only ones that have ever been found.

Also, I'm fairly sure that there is bloodwork being done on them to determine if they are possibly a new subspecies.

All I know about their physical characteristics is that they have exeptionally high contrast...different from any others out there. I don't know about any further differences in they appearance though.



Anyway, I figured I'd share what I knew about them.

Jim at Split Rock I'm sure could give you more specific info, including husbandry differences.





Later,



Alex
