But in my neck of the woods - and Tigerlily's brood of 39 babies is no exception - there are plenty of T ss that are absent the dorsal line.

In her litter of 39, I would estimate there were eight.

A WC female I caught several years ago had no line, until you got to her neck, whereupon she had a very faint one. She was also gravid when caught, and had quite a few (10 of 20) that were absent dorsal lines.
