Wow, very nice :D Love the bold markings and the colour!
 
He is still a very nice critter, Some of ours display this orange marking in thier patterning,
People have a very distinct image of what a wheatbelt stimmie should look like but in reality
they varie quite widely in patten and color with in a very short distance across thier range.

Great looking stimmies. You've got a pretty darn nice collection!
 
Nice Snake, I see it's still got that orange high lighter mark on it haha
 
The reason I question this is because the head scalation ( prefrontal cluster ) are not what I have ever seen in Stimsons from the Wheat-belt area, and I have seen quite a few from many areas of the wheat-belt. There is no denying though that they are great looking stimsons though and doesn't mean I am the expert or have seen every variant found in such a huge area.

Please remember, I am not categorically stating that these specimens are not Wheat-belt stock.
I do believe though that if this is indeed the case then they originate from an unknown locality or based on limited observations of consistant scalation differences would think that a Pilbara specimen has been breeding with Wheat-belts. From my understanding ( and I could have this wrong) the Snake Ranch stock originally stemmed from progeny of or originally confiscated illegally held reptiles here in W.A and hense their exact locality is likely unclear.
