    Could he be a spotnose? (pleez look)

    I've been looking at pictures of spotnoses, and I've started to wonder about "Andre". I thought I'd get some second opinions before I get my hopes up....

    No - the head pattern is completely different than that. I have a few "booger" nose normals in my collection too!

    Need to see the whole snake..Spotnose can not have spots on their noses..

    but the head looks all wrong for it.

    Robin, you need to put up a "Do Not Drink and Read" warning before you throw out a phrase like "Booger Nose".... Mt Dew burns...

    i read/saw somewhere (who really knows) that spotnoses have a VERY jet black ground color. they don't really have any blushing whatsoever and the black is really, really deep.
