The first picture below shows the venter of the head-spreading snake; there are spots but they are small and scattered; usually snakes from this area with so few spots have them in a single line, but you can see this animal has some scales with more than one spot; I'm not sure if that falls under the range of variation of edwardsi. Other snakes from this area have more abundant spotting, in a double row or scattered, and so more closely resemble stictogenys. And still others have large blobby spots (as in the second photo below) or even double rows of large triangles (sorry, no photo).



Sorry for the low quality photos.
