" the black coloration on heads and dorsum fade the further south you go... I have lots of pics from different locaities.JB"

From what I have seen and heard from others this is not necessarily so. Although it is true that many of the panhandle pines are very dark there are notable exceptions. Same goes for those in the southern part of the state. These snakes are not always light in color and many have strong patterns and infusions of black.

This conversation has come up before and from what I can gather from some of my Floridian friends that have seen many examples from all around the state, the lighter colored specimens tend to originate from coastal area's while those from inland regions tend to be more dark.

Great looking snakes by the way!

Phil
