what kind of gopher is this?

and a nice one too!
cool, thanks! i was wondering if its a gopher or a bull, because of the markings on the face. im a kingsnake/turtle guy, and im new to the pine/gopher/bullsnake scene. really cool snakes though and ive always wanted one, now im living the dream!

where they originated from?

no clue. it came from a petstore(i know, shame on me).
full body shot and that may help. Counting the blothces and scales would help allot too. Pick up a field guide to get the scale and blotch counts for the different pits. Good way to learn the species.
