oooooooooooh... a little tougher... cool reduced pattern. This snake has some interesting potential. I'm going to guess... Sonoran gopher... cool snake.

Looks like a Bullsnake. I had a Colorado with a pattern like that years ago.

Yeah... the more I look at it... the more I think it is probably a bullsnake too. I do remember seeing some near Dalhart/Amarillo that had similar color and a clean head, but had normal bullsnake pattern. It just about has to be from the western part of the range, CO, NM, or west TX. It almost looks like it has faint stripes trying to come through. The olive colored tail is pretty cool. Hey Mendoza, any idea where it came from? Post some more pictures of it when you can. That's a pretty nice snake.

The snake belongs to a friend, this year I will try to breed it, it's a female. I think it was a gift from a person from the USA. I am from Argentina.
So, you think it's a bull?
Here are more photos.
Thanks for your help.

OK, better that is a bull because I have the bull male to cross her. Thanks
