Spotnose

Without pics no one can tell you if it's a Spotnose or not...

Since I wasn't sure about posting pics sent to me from a breeder I was just trying to get as much info as I could and put a conclusion together myself.

Spotnose heads remind me of carpet python heads. They aren't just a simple light or dark spot on the head, but a more detailed pattern.

One thing that I feel is kind of difficult to explain about a spotnose, is that the body pattern reminds me a lot of a spider. Before anybody jumps on me for saying it looks like a spider, I don't think they are the same in the slightest, but the reduced patterning and the way the back markings connect has a similar feel to a spider, and especially seeing them in person, I always feel like they are going to have a head wobble. They never do, but something about the overall head stamp and pattern together does this to me (clowns with their wonky head stamps do the same thing).

Feel free to email me the pics...

I agree with a lot of the above, particularly the bit about the head pattern being reminiscent of a carpet python. I have often wondered what it was that my spotnose reminded me of and now I have it! also agree re the 'booger' spots, I have both normals and morphs with these; they are not an indication of a spotnose. They are high contrast animals and quite bright, something along the lines of a nice genetic granite, and have interesting patterns on the body but mainly the head markings identify them immediately.
