Definitely a pine, bull or gopher of some sort involved.

That looks like it could be one of the pure pituophis that aren't as common in captivity as some of the others. Most of what you see for sale are sayi, melanoleucus, or some catenifer subspecies, but your snake looks like a deppei deppei or one of the other mexican pituophis that are appearing more frequently at expos these days. There is no common name for them yet.

Deppi bull i am willing to bet its a cross between a bull and a deppi since your in mexico its very possible and the only other cross would be deppi gopher but down there im sure its deppi and bull, the colors are right and the look to the upper half colors says deppi.

it was a hybrid based on how it looks? How do you know it is not pure deppei deppei?
