Sorry - I know this is done a lot.
I have just been reading through some info on snake identification... and I am wondering a bit about my Spotted that I purchased last week (first time snake owner and all that).
She is 2 years old and about 1.1m, so a reasonable size already, and I don't doubt that she has spotted blood... but looking at some of her features, she seems to have that scale on her head that is distinctive to the Childrens, and maybe that line thing? (I am not sure if I am looking at the right thing there though).
So I am guessing that she is more likely a hybrid?
She is absolutely beautiful - I wouldn't change her for the world. She is amazingly placid - she is so calm being handled, and is generally just happy to curl up around my arm and rest when I get her out, and is really settled in her enclosure, quite happily warming herself on top of her hide at the moment. But I was vaguely considering the possibility of breeding from her somewhere down the track, and I am thinking if she is a hybrid that is probably not a good idea?
I have added some photos of my gorgeous girl. Whatever she is, I think she is stunning.
