paludicola or priapus???

Here are a few headshots of the pair that I mentioned earlier. They were caught in south Florida. Maybe an intergrade, can anyone help identify?

I should also mention that these two racers spend all day and all night on the highest part of the branches I have provided in their cage. Is this arboreal behavior associated with a particular subspecies?

I would say that the orangish irises would make this one a southern.

The background color is southern as well. The glades racers tend to have a more pinkish background color.
