    Spotnose in this Spider?

    I bought this snake as a Spider, and put no more thought into it until I was reading a description of Spotnose, which mentioned the main distinguishing mark is a spot on the nose (go figure). I immediately thought of this boy's little "mustache".
    I looked up the Spider/Spotnose combo (Spotted Web), and noticed it has a lot more side spots than your average Spider - another thing I've noticed on my snake.

    Thoughts?
    I'll try to get a better picture of his nose the next time he's out.

    Kind of like the name "yellowbelly" which has nothing to do with the color of the snake's belly when it comes to identifying the morph, "spotnose" does not live up to its name as an identifying characteristic. Lots of ball pythons have spot-looking markers on their nose that don't mean anything at all. You've got a lovely spider, but I don't see any hint of spotnose in the mix.

    Thanks for having a look! I'm perfectly happy with a plain spider. I figured there was a chance something could be hidden in there, especially since this was a "Bought him from a guy who bought him from a guy..." sort of situation.
