ID of bullsnake morphs

Hello,

I picked up a bull at MARS this past weekend - the guy there said it was Axanthic, but the pics on here of axanthic bulls look nothing like my little fellow. I bought him because I like the color and attitude of him. He is a basic beige in color with a speckled look near the neck and very little pattern definition. The pattern becomes more distinct mid-body, but does not ever really become sharp. Is there a page somewhere that describes all the bulls out there? I'll try and get a pic after he sheds... he has informed me (with his attitude) that this is not the time to get him out!

I also picked up a black pine - pretty animal. Pretty mean too! Lots of tail rattling and hissing - hope he calms down soon

Also, how large can I expect these snakes to grow?

Thanks,

Landon

It might be a white-sided bullsnake. Some people still (erronously) cann them anerythristics which are in turn confused with axanthics...lol. Sounds funny, but I'm serious. Post or send (kj@kingsnake.kingsnake.com) me an image. Maybe we can take a guess as to exactly what morph it is.

The quality of the pic looks like most of mine. from what I can see it looks like a bell line white sided bull. The salt & pepper or speckled bulls are out of the trumbower line and have a lot more briialnt white in them with speckling all over the body and no real pattern. Get a shot of the side view and post it.

I agree. I've seen pics of both and that looks nothing like the "salt and pepper" bulls as Dan mentioned. Kinda' looks like Terry's "Ugmo", lol.
