Honestly from the pictures I cant make out the scales I need to see well enough. Sometimes its really hard to photograph it well so they stand out. Maybe this will help..

Go down to page 6, the first picture is a black and the second is a borneo. The main thing your looking at is the center scales on the top of the head just past the eyes. There is a formation difference that is usually pretty easy to point out.

The basic supraoculor scales on the breit; there are three in a row on each side and they kind of seal off and then in the center their is a completely separate one behind them. On the Curtus the fourth one kind of blends in with the 3 in front of it. On yours it looks like that scale is fairly large which points more towards Curtus but it kinda looks like its blocked out from the ones in front of it. I can't really see too well to say either way.

From the basic colors and patterns it looks like a black without question though. If I had to pick I would say its a black.

Again, I'm not as experienced as Jordan, just better looking.

Beautiful orange head. Looks like you got what you wanted after all.

You guys were both right! Hes a black for sure. I examined him for quite a while and im positive. Thats freakin awesome! Man I lucked out lol. Now the question is, which is more valuable to see if I over paid. Thanks for looking into this and helping.

Not that much difference in price between the two really. Blacks are a bit more rare and harder to find though. Hardly any at all are imported too. Congrats!
