Learn to comprehend Dmoung, Until its proven, like with Dna, what you think or what I think means not one silly thing.
I would put some tiny merit in it being a fake if there was some local that had snakes of that color and pattern, do you know of any?
While that animal appears to have some phenotypic characters of Splendida, its not like any splendida known is it?
If it wasn't from that island, then where was it from, to me that is also interesting.
Again, without any knowledge of anything, is only opinions vs. opinions, and that will go nowhere.
If no more have been found since the twenties, then they may no longer exsist there. If they do not exsist there, then there really is no problem is there.
I am not sure any biologist puts a whole lot of merit in old records.
Simply put, there are many many questionable records. Records that cannot be verified. So what! Its not a big thing, its not new, or rare. The methods they used back then were really really loose. They often went days, weeks or months, then recorded data. Then use the city there are in as the local. Or a city they were in, and collectors came from other locals.
Anyway, good luck with your theorys. Cheers
