Thank you'll for the information. If they are as rare as you say (gibsoni), I probably will not be able to afford them in 2010! lol Where do you find your information on them? I can't seem to find anything really substantial information wise about them.

>>good question.......

>>There is some pretty good info indicating that they are the same species with a distinction at the subspecies level.... think bull snake and sonoran gophersnake.

>>I know that there is a pair of them in Europe... Germany I believe, and we are working with 1.2 of them with Guatemala locality. (think good thoughts and maybe there will be offspring available in 2010!!!!)

>>Given the small sample size of these guys and the nominant form for that matter I can not really make anything but generalizations on how they differ. Most of the literature suggests that they differ via geographic distribution, but also gibson's line-necked pinesnakes tend to have dashed dorsal neck lines where as the nominant form have solid neck lines.......

>>the ones I have seen have a nice pale chocolate ground color. A fellow I know who sees them often described seeing a road killed adult that had a striking burnt orange ground color.... unfortunately that was not the norm....
