Hello and welcome back. I don't know the particulars of that county and what not, but it seems that the animals from Colorado would have a shorter "growing" season as opposed to say Texas. It seems like a natural assumption that those animals would have evolved to be on the smaller end of the bullsnake growth spectrum. Less time in the year to eat = less growth. Just a thought. Don't know if its a fact but a thought none the less!

Also if you recall seeing larger animals years ago, it is possible that your population is now of a younger average age and the older animals have been over collected, road kill, or etc. They may be leaving at a rate that doesn't allow time for a larger animal to fulfill its potential.

Hope that helps some. Take care.

Jeremy
