Just some knowledge from way back... since the color black collects heat better...can it be that snakes in lower... and warmer climates, don't need the darker coloration to survive? Black rats found in mountainous regions in the Eastern U.S. would require the jet black coloration for better heat absorbtion.And since these snakes are found in wooded areas, for the most part, it's better to look like a "shadow" than a coral snake. (just an example) Or... since the black does absorb heat faster, they can go "on the hunt" sooner after sunning. There is another opinion... That some snakes just don't mature all the way. (Genetics), Doc's opinion....
It's a big world out there. Any one can hypothesise,
Take care all, The Doc's Lady, Jan
