jeff, check out the two triads just above and to each side of the head in the picture...there's a definite suggestion of brown there, not glossy black. You're right, the head doesn't show the characteristic lighter color of a hypo, but that could be the angle--the angle of view of the two triads i mention is pretty direct and ought to be reasonably accurate. I can't assess the possibility of hybridization with it (though there's not a lot that could be used as a resource for such a project) but I would consider it a worthy nominee for the possibility of hypo sinaloan.



Lukasz, i may have overlooked details elsewhere, but have you tracked down parents and sibs of that animal? how old is it? gender?



most of all, a "way to go" would seem to be in order.



peace

terry
