Since we've had a number of fun challenges recently, I thought I'd add another one. So, guess the subspecies AND locality!

-Cole

multistrata... montana... carbon...

but if it's Big Horn... that's what I really meant

Gerry

Probably wrong but I'll guess Utah milk from the Nevada border.

I'll go another direction. gentilis Golden Co.

Wow, I can see a little Multi, Tayloryi and maybe some Gentilis????? Maybe Tayloryi from Rifle?
Don't really know for sure its hard with some of those western milks.

Cole, that's a pretty hard curve ball you're throwing. What a great looking animal though.

-Dell

Mr. Joe M.! The actual locality of this animal is Littleton, Colorado, with Joe's "Golden Guess" being closest. There wasn't a bad guess among the replies to be honest. This particular animal is has a lot of interesting traits that could place it within any of the Western forms. Nice work, everyone!

-Cole

I thought it was going to be a trickier locale. Nice snake and nice pic as always!

I was fairly confident with my ID until Dell made his "that's a pretty hard curve ball you're throwing" comment... at that point I realized I should have known that with Cole it just wasn't going to be as easy as it seemed.

Wrong ssp and missed by all of Wyoming and then some... geez.

Gerry

Cole, Do you need my address to send the prize?

My second guess was going to be prarie king, but the colors were off just a shade, haha.
