Well, to even begin to get any sort of ID on that snake, a good clear full-body shot from above would be needed, as well as a good shot of the head and snout to see all of the features and red body ring (RBR)counts. But without knowing it's TRUE origin of locale or seeing it's parents and/or other siblings, all that can be said is what it's outward visual look (phenotype) BEST represents for a given Latin triangulum subspecies. See, if there is some varying percentage of intergradation in it's lineage, either from it's natural place of origin OR from someone's breeding project, there is now way on earth anyone can say with absolute certainty what it truly is.

I definitely have some ideas on what it "could" be, and I know what it absolutely is NOT, but a better, clearer full-body shot and head shot from directly above would certainly help though.


cheers, ~Doug
