Re: T. s. concinnus pics.
The colours are definately a lot stronger in real life those photos definately don't do them justice.

Yes, there is a pale pink area where the spots should be.... but the actual spots are absent. I'll take a better pic when he sloughs.

Re: T. s. concinnus pics.
Maybe 'absent' is a slight exaggeration..... shall we say very poorly defined, and fading with each slough.
Here's a comparison...



Male concinnus, with no clearly defined spots..



Male radix, showing more typical Thamnophis markings.

Re: T. s. concinnus pics.
Well, I'm still not convinced that you can't just call the spots "faint". At least there are markings exactly where the spots would be.

Re: T. s. concinnus pics.
Mmmm.... maybe you're right when I look again.
We'll see how it goes over the next few sloughs, but I'm convinced they're fading.

This one may be a bit trickier.

"parietal spots"

If I'm not mistaken.
