Thanks Matthew! This is my favorite "variant" of the guttatus/emoryi group, and extremely underrated imho, as well as being very little known in the hobby. I like their patterns better than the average northern variety of emoryi, and their large size also makes them interesting. I have a pair of old LTC adults which both weigh well over a kilogram each, and are not fat at all. The male is around 5 ft long and the female is over 4.5 feet long. I have also seen larger specimens in the field, which were at least a little over 5 ft.

Photos are different views of my big, old female from Nueces County, TX.
