>>I found this one in Brewster county Texas - 4000' grassland habitat far away from any other "influences". I have quite a few from this habitat and they range from this to almost all black in this particular locality.

Joe, that's a very interesting snake and the locality info is cool too, but it doesn't look much like your ave. or classic splendida. Being so far west I can't imagine it has too much influence from any other ssps, so the variation in TX splendida must be something else.

Are there more typical splendida once you get out of that grassland area you found this speciman in?

Cheers...Terry
