>>> Your snake has 12 RBR(red body rings) to the cloaca(vent opening). Nelson's have 13-18 RBR, and are thicker at the base, tapering much more abruptly at the dorsum(top of back) than Sinaloans do. Sinaloans have much wider RBR's, and they number 10-16, are thinner at the base, and taper towards the dorsum much less than nelsoni, making the spacing in the RBR's much wider in comparison to the triads(rings of three).
Sorry, I meant to say the "BLACK" rings when I referred to the thickness at the base, and the tapering in either snake, it's very late..LOL!
Again, that's a sweet looking snake, I just thought you might want to know the difference in the two.
best regards, ~Doug
