Thanks for posting the very this information. I had no idea so
many exotics had been introduced around Lajitas. The most
interesting thing about this is that the snakes survived long
term. I've read that transplanted wild snakes often don't do
very well when removed from their home range, even if it's the
same environment. Apparently that's not the case here.
Dennis Harter collected a zonata on Juno road about 10 years ago.
But it was right where a bunch of herpers had stopped to talk.
I doubt Juno would make very good zonata habitat. Interesting
in the least.
Alan Tenant supposedly had what appeared to be an
alterna/triangulum hybrid that was wildcaught in Val Verde
County. I still think the celaenops in Tenant's book is a
good candidate for a hybrid. It would be useful to know how
close to Lajitas Ric's hybrid was collected. I think he has
spent most of his River Road time further west around Big
Hill & Mud Flats. Anyways, the point I'm trying to get at
is that hybridization may be widespread out there. It would
be interesting to see how readily alterna and triangulum
will breed with each other in captivity. Has anyone tried
this?
