Notes

Found with Richard Hoyer and Todd Battey.


Intergrade Zone according Stebbins.

22 inches long and extremely colorful..

My experience with Ringnecks in the Mtns is they get really large vs many of the low land Ringnecks.

This may be due to prey, there is a large number of skinks in the area and likely their preferred prey.
