Normal or Morph???? Opinions?

hiss_n_herps May 08, 2008 11:19 PM

Hey everyone, I need some opinions on this guy. I have the chance to get this little guy but I'm riding the fence about it. I really don't need another normal male sitting around taking up room but I'm not sure this guy is actually normal. From the top he doesn't look any different from most normals.

But when you look at him face on, he somewhat resembles a "Spotnose" morph.

I really don't think he's anything more than a slightly more unique normal but I have never seen any like this and I'm not familiar enough with the "Spotnose" morph to know any better. Can anyone out there give me some 'sane' suggestions of what morph (if any) they think he is.

Thanks

Chris

Perhaps he is a het of some sort? I see a lot of hets with that kind of look and also a lot of "normals" with unknown background.

most spot noses have head markings that are lighter, with most of those head markings looking like a clover or somewhat.

I've seen a lot of "het pieds" with the spots on the nose....

other than that.... looks normal... nice rich color though...

Look for some pics of a spot nose. That snake does not resemble a spot not at all. I would pass on it unless you just like the look of the snake.
