Hi,
I need some help on this.
I found this little guy/girl at the Paluma Ranges.
Is this an antarcticus or a praelongus?
Their ranges overlap around there, I think.
Cheers,
Johan.

Looks like praelongus to me mate, but I cannot be 100% sure!
It is very nice anyway!!

Hi Johan, looks like antarticus to me, looks smoother than praelongus, maybe its an intergrade.

Yes the smoothness is exactly why I am unsure if it is a praelongus. However the pattern reminds me a lot of the ones I have caught in Northern QLD, especially the bandings just behind the head.
CHeers,

I reckon yours is praelongus Browns and that Johan;'s is antarticus but Im not willing to commit 100% Needs more expertise than I can offer.

Hi folks,
Judging from the absence of strong keeling on the Paluma specimen I suspect that it is A. antarcticus, and based on the strong keeling of the lighter coloured scales in the photo posted by Browns, his snake is A. praelongus.
Cheers
David
