..she has me stumped. I purchased her as a "BM import" that came in with the dealer's blood shipment. I do not know whether or not he had others that looked like this. Ventral scale count indicates Brong.

Thanks guys. I didn't think twice about it when I got her, as she looks like a brong to me. However, I have received a few queries about her being a cross. She has some aberrant characteristics, but I have not seen any breitensteini markers that would indicate a cross. I think the only thing of note is the dark patterning on her head, but I have seen a few CBB brongs with this as well.

As you stated, it would appear that the dark head markings are an artifact of the overall aberrant pattern, especially since all four specific scalation characteristics line up with P. brongersmai. Very interesting blood.
