Ok....I can see why your friend returned it. Superficialy it looks like a Pueblan. The band counts fit perfectly...But the head looks like it has much more white than it should and the Venter (thank you old herper) is wrong. The odd black intermittent spots and the way the pattern fades to white in the middle bother me. It is also something I have not seen in mexicana's.



I would agree with your customer that this is very possibly a Pueblan x (?) Hybrid. Was this C/b?



I suggest you post these photos on the milk snake forum. Some of those guys over there are real good at the fine details and can probably give you a more specific opinion.
