First and foremost, those are some great lookin' animals! You're right, it's difficult to catch the beauty of a SE Az molossus with a camera....
C. v. nuntius is no longer....According to the most recent (and controversial) studies, nuntius has been lumped in as viridis...(Apparently mDNA studies failed to differentiate the two)...So now (according to some) C. v. viridis and C. v. nuntius are the same snake....It's all C. v. viridis now...Not sure I buy it myself, but that's what SOME experts are saying! 
In any event, good lookin' beasts!
