It
certainly has the characteristics of H. carolinensis. However, there is great dorsal variation within the species. The ventral would make it easier to ID. What's the estimate on size?

H.c.
Thanks for looking - approximate size 33+/- TL but very approximate

I assume...
..."33" is in millimeters.

When you say total length, are you saying the total body length or the legspan?
