This was a rescue from Petsmart we got a while back. Long story short, we went back to the quarantine room to see him and someone idiot didn't close the cage right and of course, the snake escaped. The employee had no clue where to look, of course. My fiancee found him 100% stuck to a glue trap on the floor right next to the cage. We spent the next hour of our time slowly peeling the snake off the glue trap using the cricket dusting to remove the tackiness of the glue where we had already removed the snake. We convinced them that they needed to give us the snake as a rescue since we were the ones to save it. The next day we walked out with it free of charge. It was an incredible feeling.

From the whole ordeal, he only managed to lose a few scales and some slightly injured skin. Since then he has shed twice and all damage has been healed!!! Success!

Youre probably thinking of arizona mountain kingsnakes.

L. T. campbelli(sp?) is a pueblan milksnake.

His snake is definitely a pueblan.

The Pueblan milk snake is: Triangulum lampropeltis campbelli. So, yes, they are one in the same.
