my new bull snake

i got this guy at the pertland show yesterday, i was gonna wit a while to get pics of him, but decided i would grab a couple today, when i pulled his tub out, he rattled his tail against the wall, it was really cool, made me jump when i first heard it but once i realized it was him i just laughed, anyway heres a couple of pics, hes a white sided bull snake

also, is this a locality or subspecies, or is it a morph or what? anyone have any info on that?

Cool snake cody. What mde you go with yet another type of snake?

Real nice looking. Good luck with him.

Very cool I've always wanted one because I grew up catching them... Can you tell me how much he was? Also I'm pretty sure white sided is a morph don't quote me on that tho

I just googled it and found a morph list for the bull snake and whitesided is one of them.

To add over half the morphs were whitesided so there was that by itself and albino whitesided and a lot of other whitesided morphs on the list. So I'm. Not sure what it is I will look more though.

It is a single gene morph. Found it on spsnakes.com/snakes.htm

so it is a morph, thanks, i tried doing some research but didnt get anywhere with that. the reason i got him was i wanted to get either an anery motley corn, or a banded cal king, so i was going from table to table to find the nicest one, with some good size, and then i saw this guy. ive wanted a pituophis for some time now, and this guy is beautiful, so i figured i'd snatch him up before i missed my chance.

to me, i love all the different morphs in BP's, but when it comes to satisfaction of owning, colubrids have always been at the top. theres just so many species and tons of variety and different personalities and i want them all lol. im still quite new to them though so im still learning about alot of them, and this is only my third, but ive been happy with all of them

he was listed as 30, but i offered 20 as the place was closing and he said yes

I read up and bull snakes can be mellow or super aggressive. They say that they calm down the molre you handle them as they get older though. So have fun figuring out what personality you got on your hands...lol

thanks, so far hes been great, yesterday he didnt show a single sign of aggression, and today all he did was rattle his tail, but no hissing. in a couple months i'll have a good idea of "who he is" though

and since hes a morph, is there any way someone can give me more info, like what kind of bull is he exactly? im guessing i would need more/ better pictures, but anything you could add is appreciated
