Moved
Moved from ID Request. Assuming this specimen is near maturity I'm guessing it's A. florida. The humps are smaller than the other species. Next time see if you can get that ventral shot. It makes IDing these a cinch.

that I can use to rule in or out florida or argentata???

Yes
A closer shot of the bumps on the abdomen could help and if it's mature, and if you have a ventral that should tell us instantly.
