While there is some variation in color and pattern among the Sonoran's where I live in southern AZ, this one is fairly typical (color, pattern, shape and size) of the wild individuals in my area. This is a five foot male that I raised up from a wild caught (local) neonate. Not only my favorite Pit but this guy is my favorite snake for a variety of reasons.

nice color and great contrast! I love how variable this group can be!

Rob Nixon took this image while down in Mexico!

Interesting how the pattern on that Mexican individual transitions from brown to red with no perceptible black. A hypo perhaps? Our Sonorans have black pigment mixed in the pattern from head to tail.
