REPTILE COLORING BOOK PRE-PREVIEW!

So the coloring book is definitely still in the planning stage (especially the financial aspect / goals) but I have come up with the list of reptiles that are going to be included! This will get long so I’m going to put the list itself under a cut. Please check it out though! I’d love to hear feedback or suggestions before the drawing process begins! (It’s probably going to take me several months to get high res digital renderings of each, plus the stretch goals, covers, and stretch variant covers). Depending on the goal reached, there will be 250 physical copies for the initial run. Every stretch goal unlocks additional copies and a variant cover, in addition to new coloring pages! Each page will feature a unique plant species found in the same region as the snake/reptile! Each page will display the common and scientific names of the species included, on the back of each page will be a fact about the snake and/or plants. Some pages include multiple species or multiple drawings of the same species in order to explain mimicry, sexual dimorphism, different locals / naturally occurring morphs, or used as a teaching tool to distinguish similar looking animals. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!

Todays Snake Is:

The Trans-Pecos Copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix pictigaster) is a venomous subspecies found in Chihuahua and Coahuila in Mexico and Texas in the United States. While other copperheads typically bear a pattern of tapering markings, this subspecies is easily distinguished with its wide, distinctive bands of brown. Like other members of its species, envenomation can be potentially dangerous, though fatalities seldom occur in healthy adults. However, as with all venomous animals, they are best admired from a distance.

Broad-banded Copperhead (Agkistrodon laticinctus), family Viperidae, West TX, USA

Venomous.

This individual is the "Trans-Pecos Copperhead" variation. It was once considered a sub-species of the Copperhead, A. contortrix. It is now considered synonymous with the Broad-banded Copperhead, which has been elevated to species status.

Trans-Pecos Copperhead, Agkistrodon contortrix pictigaster, Big Bend National Park, West TX, USA

From this close up we can easily see the elliptical pupil, which is typical of the Pit Vipers (Crotalidae). We can also see the heat sensing pit, just below and between the eye and the nostril. In this pit (from which pit vipers derive the common name of their group), there is an organ that allows the snake to sense the infrared radiation given off by other animals. it is essentially tied into the visual cortex of the brain, allowing them to “see” their prey’s heat... even in the “dark”.
