@snaky
That's really quite a long time. How old are those 2? Sorry for the word "phase". I think, that's a word which is only used by us german speaking European. I thought that there were 2 different variants of L. alterna blairi.

1) alterna "phase" -> has 9 - 17 orange-red barrings
2) blairi "phase -> has 15 - 39 small barrings. Can be black and orange-red as well.

But I'm not sure at all about that. Read that in "Königsnattern von Rainer Thissen / Helmut Hansen 1996". As you see, this book isn't that new at all. Probably it's obsolete.

@GarterGuy
It's nice how much they can vary. I like your thayeris :-)
