"Note This is measured from neck to cloacae (not to tip of tail)".


Why did you refer to the tail blotching on those animals(one 14, the other 15), when the blotch counts are supposed to be taken from the neck to the cloaca. This is even noted in the text you quoted from other literature in the scientific community. neck to cloaca is the standard for counting blotches, and RBR(red body rings) in milksnakes,(triangulum) and others as well.

Just trying to understand the relevance.
