As far as size, southwestern rats (meahllmorum) do get large. I have three over 4 ft long, two are close to or at 5 ft. These are Nueces County TX locality meahllmorum. The broken spearpoint doesn't really mean anything, you see that in corns also, and meahllmorum can have complete ones. What I am looking at is the shape and size of the blotches and the faint transverse bars across the middle of the blotches.



Good point about the location, but anything is possible with the internet. I have sold some of my cb babies online and they are in various places now.



I am not an expert, so I guess it is possible that it could be an anery corn, but I just don't think so...



This is my big female southwestern rat, over 4 ft long. -Toby
