Hello Tom,

i'll trie to analyze

a lot of saddles - 70-100 in general I think

No round blotches/saddles - they are squarish

A form -where special colored- animals exist.

There's a kind of stripe beside the neck - and the middle row of side blotches is enlarged.

So - there are details that could point on different catenifer subspecies. catenifer, annectens, and maybe deserticola. In pumilus I know no colormorphs.

I guess, it is a kind of annectens - maybe mixed with an other snake family?-

though the neck blotches look a slightly on the big side,i will still guess that it's an amel san diego gopher,like the guy above me said.

tom i can see a green hint now that you mention it;but i think some coloring really tends to get lost in the process of pics uploaded...it just looks a lot like an annectens amel i had that i think was tyrossinaise(sp.?) positive,as opposed to a 't-' animal that showed a lot of red.

Wow, honestly, I never would have noticed it at first glance. Now that I look, I can kinda tell the green, mostly towards or on the neck area.

It probably looks a lot greener in person, but the flash may have washed out the darkness of it?

Very cool snake! What is the story on it?
