They resemble (and act) like Pituophis more than some members of the genus! I'm raising a pair with ancestry to Spain; they have a rostral like a Bull or Pine and a cartilaginous filament at the base of the glottis (sound familiar?), though not as large. They are also irritable like many Pituophis; their attitude resembles that of the many Florida Pine Snakes I have worked with over the years, and I often refer to them as "mugitus Europa".
