Leptodeira frenata malleisi
Dunn & Stuart 1935
Yucatán, Mexico. June 27, 2016.
This little viper mimic is certainly Leptodeira frenata, but the subspecific designation is a little shaky. Purportedly, L. f. malleisi features orange or brown saddles on a brown background, with a dark outline bordering the saddles. This snake was found on the road at night in the southeastern portion of Yucatán state. See also the lifelist entry for Leptodeira frenata yucatanensis.
