Jeff, thanks for being honest that you would have trouble making an ID on these for one. I see your point on how you would narrow them down. These were actually both caught in my backyard under the same 4 inch wide board---several weeks apart. Both were returned to the board, but not until she laid nine eggs!!! (Gravid at time of capture). I have yet to see another LTT around here that looks like that male. As far as the locality debate, I do like snakes for the same locale but can see how it can get out of hand.(IMO) I live right on the edge of FOUR counties. One or two miles away and a snake is from a different county, yet I could go fifteen to twenty miles another direction and still be in my own county. Obviously the closer but different county would be more locale.
Joe
