Micruroides euryxanthus from Southern Az. This one has only nine wide red bands more like M.e.australis in Sonora.

but this one has twelve narrow red bands more typical of Arizona specimens.

Very nice!
I know of an amel TX coral or two but do you know if there's an amel of this ssp.?? I can only imagine how cool it would look but I think I still prefer the normal. How could you improve on that??!!

Mark I know there is atleast one.

Saw a pic a while back of an albino AZ coral.

Until now I had not heard of any albinos of this species. I too think I would still prefer the normal colorings. Great little snakes, and surprisingly intelligent, yet very calm and gentle mannered.

It's to bad they are venomous.

but although it's true they are venomous I just can't consider them dangerous. I have come to the conclusion that prey items for Micruroides are probably more often killed by constriction than by envenomation (yep, some try to pass it off as simply resraining the prey, but my snakes definately constrict). And from what both regalringneck an I have observed in prey animals, I can honestly say I would probably rather be bitten by a Micruroides than a D.p.regalis. I have to watch out for my regalis. He's 29 inches and tries to eat everything that moves. Once he is in hand he is OK though(aside from some musking). I would have to treat my corals very roughly to get them to bite. Of course I can see where they would cause a legal issue in many states which is sad.

Where did you find those? Ive never seen one. Did you flip rocks or were they out in the open?

in southern Az by road cruising.
