Spilotes distribution

Hello.
Can anyone tell me, where the spotted form of spilotes come from?
Is it central or south america?

Thanks
Jonas

I believe the Guatamalan Spilotes are more likely to be of the "speckled" coloration. Spilotes are so variable and can be collected from numerous areas and only shipped from the one. South American Colubrids are very understudied and at this point until someone goes down there we don't really have any facts to go, on just speculation. Hope that helps you be as confused as me.lol.

I am not sure what you mean by spotted. Is this what you are talking about?

The last description on this page seems to match the pattern in question.

I believe Sighthunter has had snakes of this pattern and he may know where they are from.
