Opinions Please.. pic. 1

I recently picked up this pair from a herp auction site and would like some opinions on them.. I try to avoid W/C animals whenever possible, but I really liked the simi-aberrant patterns and color of these two. I also thought they might be Bull X Sonoran Gopher intergrades - which also attracted me.
The pair was collected in Pecos County Tx. Which I believe is the extreme end of the Sonoran Gopher X Bull Snake integration range. I haven’t done any scale counts or homework other than checking the range of both Bulls and Sonoran Gophers and where they might intergrade.
Let me know what you all think of them.
The colors and contrast are accurate and true.

I don't see any gopher there. Looks like all bull to me.

hey there Jason.

thanks. it was the patterns and color that sold me on these two.
they both have similar patterns to the male Sonoran you sold me last year. i'm hoping you produce a female like that.
