Image of Agkistrodon contortrix contortrix (Linnaeus 1766)

Description:

Found both individuals under the same large cover board. Apparently this area is an intergrade zone between A. c. contortrix (Southern) and A. c. phaeogaster (Osage). I sided with the Southern due to the broken up dorsal pattern and because they are supposedly more common in this county. I'm open to hear what others suggest.
