Took 3 of the baby sonorans in to sell for PNHS and came back with 3 new snakes.

I picked up an adult female coastal rosy, a sub-adult female mexican chocolate rosy, and a 2003 female spotted python.

I'm trying to find out locality info on this big, beautiful girl. She's actually bright orange, with a grey-blue (light) background, but my camera's flash washes it out.

This girl came from a guy selling off his collection. She's a sub-adult, but a beauty!

Anyone want to help me with locality information?

Cool she looks like a cross between a costal and a mid-baja. I say that because she has the costal pattern with a mid-baja background.

Sweet...congrats! :D Specific localities can be very difficult to guage, especially since they can be extremely variable within themselves. Your best bet is to ask Roy. The first one is definitely a coastal rosy of some sort. Wouldn't say its a mid-baja cross.

The first one is definately a California coastal.
What does the belly look like? The belly pattern can tell alot in rosies.
The high orange makes it look like a San Gabriel, but it should have lots of orange on the ventrals if that is the case.
The second snake looks like it could be a cross.
If it weren't for the uneven stripes, I'd say it was probably a mainland triv, but it looks like it could have some Arizona rosy in it.
Arizona rosies have black flecks on the edges of each ventral scale which makes a train track pattern down the belly. This may be reduced or absent in crosses

The top one's belly is mostly greyish.

The bottom one has the train-track pattern down the belly.

Can't say anything about localities that's helpful, but those rosies are just amazing! The third one is beautiful!!
