Maybe we should call it a Stripewinder?
There was another found/posted but it only had a small amount of striping on the neck if I remember correctly (1-3 in maybe). I saw the pic awhile back, so hard to remember. Not sure of the subhellihooks wrote:1st striped winder i've ever heard of... very cool...

Wheew (sigh of relief), now I can wipe that one off the list
I downloaded 2 pictures of a striped sidewinder in May 2012 that was found in the Coachella Valley and posted by Snakeherper5. It has a stripe on the neck and roughly the first third of the body, a small stripe in the middle, and another stripe on the end of the tail. I didn't save his full post and I can't find it in the archives and I don't want to show his pictures here without permission. Maybe he's still around and can post them again.Porter wrote: There was another found/posted but it only had a small amount of striping on the neck if I remember correctly (1-3 in maybe).
