    Spotnose-like markings?

    My wife picked up this little male Sunday. He was sold as a normal, with a possible het for piebald. He appears to have some of the markings of a spotnose. I hope after he sheds they will become more noticeable.
    His head has markings similar to what ive seen on spotnoses, though lighter. He has "spots" on both sides of his face. He doesn't really have a dorsal "stripe" but his dorsal spots are Brighter yellow than his other markings(much more noticeable in person than my pics)
    He has an almost all clear belly also. I think He's a cool looking guy none the less.

    Faint head-spot

    I'm not seeing spotnose. The head and body pattern is off. Some normals have the bugger markings like spotnoses. But nice little snake regardless!

    Nice but not spotnose the belly pattern on a spotnose is like a checker board.

    The head marking is also more pronounced and they have a lighter color to them.

    Kinra posted the perfect example for a spotnose. Pronounced head pattern and checkerboard belly pattern. That is what to look for to determine if its a spotnose.

    And for the boogers, just like what Rabernet says "Those darn booger noses get people every time!" (dont worry, those boogers got me too long time ago

    Thanks everyone for the help.
    I've kept cornsnakes since '96 but am relatively new to BP's. I had feeling he wasn't a spotnose from what I'd read, but doesn't hurt to ask and there's no better place than here.
