Borneo??

Hey... I just purchased a Borneo STP... Approximately 12", a nice chocolate milk color, and very nice, clear scale design... Has beautiful spots running down the back. My question is this.
I know a Borgersmai has lip scales that run up to the eye, and a Borneo has a row of small scales that run under the eye. This snake seems to have no small scales under the eye, but the head scales seem to look like a borneo.. Do these small scales under the eye get more pronounced as they get older? Or do they appear early, as juvies? This snake is beautiful, and has a good disposition, but has me perplexed. I got it at a Borneo price, but according to the sub-caudal scales, seems to be a Borgersmai.
Regardless, he's a great specimin, and seems well adjusted.
I'll post pics as soon as I can, so you all can have a look.
What is your thoughts?
ax.
BTW, Borneos are plentiful where I am, and a borgersmai is hard to get, so I purchased it as a Borneo, but appears to me t be a Borgersmai.....Thus the price difference....

There are intergrades between the two being produced and mine have no scales under the eye but look like borneos too? So maybe thats it, who knows, anyways thats my two cents.
