Pueblan, sinaloan or nelsons?

Can someone please identify my new milksnake (jesus). Looks like a pueblan to me but I can’t really tell the difference. Also how big can I expect him to get?
Thanks!

Pueblan, sinaloan or nelsons?

Poor pic, hard to see the snake but I think it looks like an ordinary Pueblan. They grow to about 40 inches.

Her’s one of my 2006 ordinary hatchling Pueblans

Here’s my 2007 "sockhead" female Pueblan.

I Agree . . .

It’s probably a Pueblan although one of my Nelson’s has similar narrow red bands so I wouldn’t rule that out completely.

I’ve owned a Sinaloan as well, and they generally have the widest red bands of all the milk snakes . . .

My next milk snake will definitely be a Pueblan unless my two Nelson’s aren’t a pair (I’m unsure of the sex of the three-year old, and the female is only a yearling).

They all have their own beauty, and I’ve never owned a milk snake that didn’t have a healthy appetite . . .

I believe it probably is a pueblan but the store had him marked as a sinaloan. Shows how much they...and I know! He really is beautiful though. I’ll try to post a better pic soon.
