I love the "locality" Emory's ratsnakes. Intermontana is a much overlooked form, imho, too. There even seems to be a lot of variety just among the various intermontana. Thanks for the pics...

>>Here is an '09 from my Garfield County, Colorado locality line and an '05 female from the KJUN line. The latter is now lighter than this photo. She is in blue now, so I dug up an old photo taken by Troy Hibbitts These are neat snakes. They are often called dwarf Emory's because of their small size. I have also seen them called Colorado spotted rat snakes. Their clutches are small, but the hatchlings are large. They are considerably larger than most corns when they hatch.
