Those rock faces face more to the north, NNW to be precise.
I recall a conversation I had with Buzz Ross this past summer, after I had first seen this female. Apparently, he was e-mailed a photo by Russ, and Buzz actually mistook her for an old male he had caught on BSR. He showed me a photo of the male that had been published in one of the Snakes of Texas books. I can't remember how closely they resembled one another, or which book it was in (I think maybe it was Texas Snakes by Werler and Dixon). I know you won't be satisfied with anything less than air-tight confirmation, but maybe that will help you feel a little more optimistic about the snake's origin.
I added photos off all of the wc BSR alterna that I know of (not already pictured in the gallery on Alterna Pages), with the exception of a couple that I do not have photos of. Possibly making a visual inspection will make you feel a little more confident that she is authentic? The rather weak alternates, and many "floating" primaries on the front half of the snake are the only traits that bother my eyes, other than that, she shares many BSR characteristics.
