| Some years ears ago I have received similar speciemens from 10km around Keetmanshoop Namibia. Also on my trip trough Namibia I found a nice caudalis in that area, and it was very similar to what you have posted here...... but to be honest, your pictures is not the best because we can't see much of the snake.
Maybe we can help you better If you make some more pics (full body shots).
But at the end of the day it's almost impossible to do more then just estimate. That's why I always prefer snakes with the knowledge of the locality.
Many thanks
Marco | |

| Definitely looks like a caudalis from Namibia, I know similar colorforms like this only from Keetmanshoop area. But are you sure it's a clean form and not a mix from different localities ?
Cheers Marco | |

Cheers Marco Yes, 100% sure, but like say a lot of people here (exemple for mister Rob Deans), we can be sure only if you and only yourself pick them directly from their area..... | |
