" but it's my experience (at least here in Arizona) that they are few and far between. Most have some faint patterning on them"
But that is very good for me to know, because then I know that they dont NEED to have some white marking to be nigrita and on the other hand they can also have varible amounth of white and still be nigrita..... A other identification method I have heard of is that if the snake is larger then about 120 cm, it is a sub spec hybrid, "real" nigritas do not get that large....do you have any input on that one ? ( How large do splendida become ? )
By the way, nice to get info from one how see them in nature and not as over here en Europe, as a result of many many generations of selective breeding...
