Know someone on another forum who's in a dilemma as to what it is tha he got from the pet store. Scalation seems to vague. I was just wondering if there's any consistent difference with patterning. After looking at a bunch of pics, it seems that Northerns have the distinct blotching, but like the ring around it like the Southerns. The Southerns seem to have this ring on the upper part of the tail patterning. Is this true or do I need to get my eyes fixed? Thanks!
