Ocular scale not raised enough for P. semivariegatus and appears to be one anterior and two posterior temporals, thus most likely P. hoplogaster. Need a full-body shot to see whether ventrals and subcaudals are keeled. |

Daren, wouldn't the three upper labbial entering the eye being a good enough sign for P.semivariegatus ? I don't know P.hoplogaster enough to contradict you but if I remember well P.hoplogaster only has two entering the eye. |

Standard coloration for Grahamstown. 3 UL touching eye and temporales in 2+2+2 even though the first set is reduced. |
