Re: Red-phase pickeringii
Hmmm, thats a tricky one. I find it hard to make up my mind about that.
Its just like with the easterns. What are the nominats? Are they the ones with some blue, with some red, with some greenish tones or 'just' the brown ones? What makes you think these are the nominate form? (just curious...)

Re: Red-phase pickeringii
Yeah, I agree. Most animals described by scientists are red...
Could it have something to do with the areas visited by scientists?

Re: Red-phase pickeringii
Or are they just so much easier to spot?
 By the way, very nice snakes and photos, James.
