Maybe-but that snake also has the "gestalt" of an eastern. The head is slim and elongate compared to a nasicus, and that snout doesn't look near upturned enough either.



I don't disagree with you as those were pretty much my observations as well but reading as how the guy did his research on the scale counts between the two species can't be ignored either. That's why I'm entertaining the idea of it possibly being a hybrid. It's too bad that genetic testing is so expensive and out of reach of the common public because that sure would help solve a lot of riddles out there.
