Need advice on sinaloan morphs please

[dr del]

Hi,

I lost my female sinaloan at the start of the week.

So I am trying to find a replacement but have found only a couple and they seem to be morphs I have never heard of.

CrystalPalaceReptiles have an 05 female which would be ideal but no pictures of her and they say she is a "bullseye" morph.

But when I try and search online this only seems to be mentioned as a Nelson's milksnake morph?

Can anyone tell me if this is a legit sinaloan morph and what the inheritance pattern is?

Any description of pattern or coloration?

Not really no.

Just the word bullseye. The bullseye nelsons look like this;

I'm thinking they must be intergrades which I really don't want to work with.

There don't seem to be many sinaloans for sale over here this year.

Any additional information on this? I'm curious, since I'm still brand new to snake keeping (just got my first snake, a corn, 2 months ago), but am strongly considering my next next snake to be a milk (next snake will probably be a ball python of course). According to "The Essential Visual Guide to the World of Snakes" (Chris Mattison), which is by no means detailed on any given species, Sinaloan milk snakes are from northwestern Mexico and visually distinguished by their extremely wide red bands, which would be extremely attractive, if accurate.

If you were getting them from me before I got out of Sinaloans they would be pure. I produce some killer bullseyes over the years.

The saddles don't go all the way down to the belly. Sometimes the belly is black, sometimes red, sometimes both, but no white, no rings. The blotches/saddles on the back look like tiny little bullseyes.

You might see if hhmoore, the mod over at fauna, is still working with them. Guy name of Bob Deptula had them years ago too, I think he was out of Connecticut.

You might also try Bob Applegate. He does nelson's too though and I've always wondered a bit about that.

Anything with any albino gene is not pure sinaloan.
