Jules-
There is no specific location designated to a 'New Locale' (NL) ETB. From what I have been able to gather, NL's have been collected from at least 2 separate regions. The term 'NL' is basically a generic term applied to an ETB that does not qualify as a Northern or an Amazon Basin. A NL specimen has qualities (i.e. markings/patterning) of both. NL specimens on average have a profuse amount of white on them. Their white markings are generally thicker and broader, often times connected to form a 'pitchfork' marking. Whereas Northerns on average have fewer amounts of white. With the white markings being thinner. Also, NL specimens possess lateral markings like Basins do. As well as flecks and drip marks. However, NL specimens possess a trait that neither Northerns nor Basins possess. This trait is known as 'Eyespots'. One white circular patch on top of each lobe at the rear of their head. Resembling eyes.
Here are examples of each:
Northern ETB (Pic belonging to and courtesy of Danny Mendez.)
Amazon Basin ETB (Pic and animal belonging to Craig/Karen Clark and courtesy of same.)
NL New Locale ETB (Pic and animal belonging to Danny Mendez and courtesy of same.)
Hope this helps to clear it up for you, Jules. The term 'New Locale' is not just breeders or dealers trying to pin a name on a normal snake.
