I wouldn't say your snake is junk, as has been pointed out lots of snakes out there labeled sinaloan have some degree of nelson influence and the opposite is also true. When you compare those snakes to those that are advertised as Cosala Sinaloans such as the one Mr. Kruse posted above sure you'll see the difference immediately... imperfect banding or spotting doesn't make the snake junk... check out the link below, it's a fairly good page with photos of each of the ssp's of milks along with morphs for some of them... not 100% accurate as some may point out but a pretty good page just the same to get a quick look for whats typical for each of the ssp's.

Bottom line here is perhaps you don't have the Rolls Royce of sinaloans but it's the snake you picked out because you liked it and it's what you wanted... enjoy it for those reasons. Plenty of time to get that Rolls if you get bitten by the "milk bug".
