Red-phase pickeringii

They're quite attractive little snakes!
It's about time you got those pics up, James!

I agree James...It might be that red ones are more unusual in the States then they are in Europe...We don't get to see a lot of blue ones around here...

I might be tempted by the Blue Phase.... one day.

I think the reds, like mine, are actually the 'nominate form' for 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...)

When you read a scientific paper/article on pickeringii, it seems to be this one they describe. As in Rossmans' book.

Yeah, I agree. Most animals described by scientists are red...
Could it have something to do with the areas visited by scientists?

Or are they just so much easier to spot?

By the way, very nice snakes and photos, James.
