Took photos of a few more animals from Cole's (Sunherp) collection while their still boarding at my house.
L. t. oligozona, Salina cruz oaxaca, Mexico, locality. The male was in heavy blue, but here is the female.


The olig. musked me at one point in the photo session, and I cleaned it up, but every snake after that that I tried to take photos of went into a defensive posture and was a complete pain in the arss to take photos of. So I had to clean up even better and waited until the next day to try and take photos of the snakes. Apparently other snakes don't like the smell of musk either.
Nice defensive pose. Non-locality syspila.

I really like the saddle patterns on this syspila.

Really particular looking from this syspila and others I've posted in the past.


This Sandboa really didn't like the olig. musk, and wouldn't even let me get a shot off w/out spazing out. But the next day was the easiest snake I've ever taken photos of.
She dropped three huge neonates 10 days ago. Fascinating snake.


That's all for now, hope you enjoyed a few of the animals here.
