My first Milksnake: What is he exactly?

I got this little guy for free from my friends dad ( who happens to be a breeder
). Reason being that he has the smallest Kink I've ever seen( can't even see it). That aside, it says on his container that he is a spotted annulata Milk snake. I was wondering if Maybe they go by another name? Because I can't find many of his morph on the internet. Here's some pics taken yesterday

Also annulata is not a morph, it's the subspecific name of the species, Lampropeltis triangulum annulata
Most of the tri color milks and mountain kings are referred to by either the name of their subspecies or a shortened version of it.

That Mexican milksnake may have come from a clutch that had spotted individuals in it. These morphs are also called "bullseye" annulata. The subspecific name "annulata" literally means "fully-ringed". This pertains to the white inner rings of the triads(rings of three) that go down the body in groups. Many other white rings in other milksnakes are incomplete and have black blotching in the white ring on the belly.

That is a really nice looking specimen I might also add, and definitely looks to be 100% genuine annulata with no crossed lineage of any kind.
