Cool sympatric species

dustyrhoads Feb 16, 2009 04:03 PM

Here are two full siblings of Pantherophis bairdi 'nuevoleonensis'. One is a brand new hatchling, and the other is a year older -- already ontogenetically changed into its slate gray head and maize-yellow body. This pic is about seven months old, and that yellow animal has gotten more red/orange. Their parents are unrelated F1s -- the female is Galeana, Nuevo Leon locale, and the male is Chipinque Parque Ecologico locale (near Monterrey, Nuevo Leon), where the IHS field trip will be this summer. Incredible race of a species sympatric with alterna.

Thanks for looking!

p.s. Hat tip to Michael Price for letting me buy the parents a few years ago. (p.s.s. Michael wants them back!)

I responded through your alternater at the top, so it sent the message to whatever e-mail you have attached to that.
