Here I thought I was one of the few interested in this. If you have seen diamondbacks in the wild and stopped, stepped back, and studied why they may feel hidden in their positions then you may have a clue as to the extreme color varities within a population. One color gives as much protection as another when there is such a gradient of size, color, and shape of sea weed and mullusk shells. The carolinian looks for all the world like a pile of seaweed with the all over-abundant sunbleached shells laying along side. I have some ideas as to the color genetics of the dbts. I feel there is a recessive coloration as well as a co-dominance within macrospilota. Scott
