Hi Gerry,



I have 11 L.t.arcifera, 7 adults and 4 yearlings. 2 of the adults are females and 2 of the yearlings are females. 4 of the adults have the cross-over pattern. A 2008 male is overall the darkest(see photo) the other 3 are about equal. most have a pattern similar to nelsoni with a higher band count(18-22). Most of the ones from Applegate via Stan Draper do not have the cross-over pattern. Also I have seen several photos of wild arcifera with locality noted and the cross-over pattern doesn't seem to be the most common pattern for arcifera. That may be more locality oriented or just occurs in a small portion of the population.



all my adults are around 3' or less. my only clutch was 4 eggs and the hatchlings were around 11 inches long.



Jack
