I agree, Gerry. It's just as ridiculous as doing a search on several other Latin milks as you already are very aware of..LOL!. The extremely BOGUS depictions are everywhere and most don't even come close to being what they are said to be. As you might know, many years ago Ruthven's kings were thought to actually be L.t.arcifera, but since then it has been noted that that is quite false.

That's very interesting, I wasn't aware that there was a sexual dimorphism with the female arcifera having a higher tendency towards having crossovers, but anything is possible with snakes and other animals as there are many sexual dimorphisms known out there.

Nice shots by the way. That's really cute that the little abnorma girl peeks out of the vines to see if "dad" has a tasty morsel to offer her. They sure do get familiar with the "program", don't they..LOL!...
