Jim,
Why do you call that animal a speckled bull. It looks like one of Ballam's bulls. Pretty animal though. And great pics with some real substance.

I call them that because, thats what they were sold to me as.
I have two pairs of them from two different breeders and they both called them Speckled Bullsnakes.

I sold that pair to Jim last year. I bought them directly from Gary Ballam as hatchlings and he called them Speckled Bulls. Ron

The reason I originally called them speckled was because the wild caught male from which the line derives appreaed as a straw colored animal with a dark brown spot in the center of every scale - therefore speckled. I know that a lot of people would prefer calling them patternless and many have. Some also show an indistinct stiping pattern at the tail end. I've posted a pic of the original male below.

I had never liked "patternless" bulls before but now that I've seen these pics of this strain I really really like these!

I thought that looked like your breeding. And the answer explains the speckled name on an un-speckled snake. Lol. Thanks for the reply Gary.

Jim,
thanks for the explanation and now that you told me to adjust my glasses, I see what makes it a speckled bull. Black Specks LOL. Neat animal. When they hatch out post some pics of them, I would love to see them.
