Those cross bar patterns between the eyes is signature of the gainsville pines and some oralndo pines tend to have that tan colored background color.. all the three pines that I have seen found south of tampa have no head pattern or black on their anteriors, and the base color is more grey /white. and the pines found in the north part of the state have whiter background color but all have that distintive bandit look or black spots... heres a body shot of one found in sarasota.

That is interesting, I have not heard that before. Is this what you are talking about as far as the bandit look in the bottom picture.

That is a pink patternless line we have had for a few years. Cool animals.

hey john,i see you do still have some pretty mugitis!i wanted to get one from you,but it did'nt happen this time...so after seeking just what i wanted for about 3 years(!)i did finally get a male amel fla. pine-this time from reptile industries,also from whom i've gotten nice pituophis before-this boy's an '05 with the same color as that patternless one in your post directly above mine....but he has blotches;i like the way mugitis amels keep that pink or some shade of red.

I guess not every one but the lil mask seems to be a domanant marking on the majority...

...I have only seen a few but none has ever had that line. I have never seen a wild one in the field from north of Ocala though.

Those are some interesting observations. It seems like Fl. Pines have not been as of interest to pit lovers as some of the others, but they are beautiful animals with a lot of natural variations. Below is a link to some photos of my Ocala Pines.
