Monster Island? (I'm not one for these types of games.)

I am going to guess Maryland, don't know any specific counties there. They sure are sweet looking though..... Hey Dave how are those amaura doing? Did you get any eggs this year?

No it's not too bad.

Something of a trick/misleading question... multiple snakes multiple locales... going with N.Carolina though... perhaps Virginia... in any event I'm liking #3, a real beauty.

I like this game!

1 and 3 look more "northern" to me. I'm going to guess they're from the same locality. I say Frederick County, MD.

Snakes 2 and 4 have a darker background coloring and what appears to be thinner black blotch borders. I'm going to guess the North Carolina high country for them. How about Burke or McDowell Counties?

Tried to trick you a little bit here as there were only 2 localities represented among the 4 snakes.

Many of you were on the right track and had some very good guesses!

#1 and #4- Amherst County VA - #1 is an awesome red and white milk. As with most (if not all localities of Ltt) they are highly variable in this part of their range. Many are bright red and white while others have darker backgrounds and blotches. Also, many have the traditional Y or V on their neck while many have collars like a red milk. Cool locality. #1 is a female and I have a better male lined up to breed with her in 2012 than the male pictured in #4.

#2 and #3 - Montgomery county NC - many of you guessed western NC for some of these and you were correct. Again highly variable. These two females come from within 15 yards of each other. I suspect #2 is a much older specimen than #3 - #3 was a yearling when caught and has retained nice coloration into subadulthood. #2 gave me a clutch of 11 good eggs this year so we'll see what pops out.

Thanks for playing!
