About Senticolis triaspis (Cope, 1866)
Senticolis triaspis, first formally described by Cope in 1866, can reach a total length of 160 cm (63 in) when fully grown, including its tail. Dorsally, its base color is green or olive green, while its ventral side is light yellow. It has an elongated head, a slender body, and smooth dorsal scales arranged in 31 to 39 rows. This species most commonly inhabits evergreen forests and grassland. In terms of geographic distribution, Senticolis triaspis is broadly found across the Baboquivari, Pajarito, Atascosa, Santa Rita, Empire, Patagonia, Chiricahua, Swisshelm, Pedregosa, and Peloncillo mountains of southeastern Arizona. For reproduction, an adult female Senticolis triaspis can lay a clutch of up to nine eggs.
