Hey Colby,
Do you have the history on the adults that you bred to get this animal? (Where they originated, etc.)
I have yet to see a cross in the wild (obvious places that have been searched include most of the Trans-Pecos area of Texas and southern New Mexico.)
I have seen ones that key out as one or the other (H. kennerlyi or H. nasicus) but never as both...
Cool snake!

Happy herpin'...

Like pure mexicans or pure plains. I had a few that looked like both. The adults came from west texas. I don't know the exact local. The female was a plains and the male was a mexican.

Are you sure that's a female? Looks male to me.

I dont know how to post multiple pics..sorry for the screw up here is the last pic of the male..its the real close up

The darker one could by an intergrade(mex x plains) but the lighter one looks like 100% nasicus nasicus to me.

I also agree with Colby that the lighter one looks like a a male in that picture.
