| Distribution | Margarita Island, Trinidad, Tobago, NE Venezuela (Nueva Esparta, Sucre, Bolivar, Guárico, Monagas) Type locality: Isla Margarita, Venezuela. |
| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Holotype: USNM 22534, an 897 mm female (W. Robinson, 13 July 1895). Paratypes: MCZ, ANSP (males and females) |
| Diagnosis | DIAGNOSIS (n=7). Readily distinguished from Eudryas quinquelineatus by the absence of dark mottling on the chin and throat, by the fact that the three dorsal dark stripes are fused to form a single broad band, and by the greater number of subcaudals (83-105 in quinquelineatus as compared with 110-119 in amarali). (Stuart 1938) Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 1911 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |
