I have 2 Ahaetulla prasina...or so i think.

The one i know is a prasina has the white stripe allong the body and my other one has yellow stripes just like iv'e seen in mycterizans pictures. Is it possible for prasinas to have yellow stripes instead of white or is it more likely that i have one prasina and one mycterizans?

Hey,

do you have any pictures? I had 1 mysterizans and 3 prasina's.

This is the picture of the snake that i'm not sure about.

i've caught a few prasina's before...both white and yellow striped..i think it is very possible that they're the same species

Here is a pic of a adult pair of a.prasina's. Hope it helps you some.

good luck,

mycterizans usually has a single anal shield,while prasina 'usually' has two.Also mycterizans has a lower subcaudal number(usually less than 155).Trying to distinguish them by colour alone is hopeless.
Hope this helps.
