get out my "Scwartz and Henderson", huh?

Well, without doing so, (and keeping in mind I haven't been into epicrates in 20 years) I'll say the bottom animal appears to be E. exsul, the middle is too large to be anything but one of the striatus-even bigger than any chrysogaster I've seen-hard to tell from just the belly side. Appears too dark to be an angulifer.

The top pic is a woman. Hardest thing of all for a herper to identify.

The top is Epicrates s. striatus, middle is E. subflavus, and the bottom E. f. fordii. Thanks...TC

That's exactly what I was going to say.
