Stunning little guy (or hopefully gal) my gf and I picked up at Hamburg. She chose it to work on her terror of snakes.
Got one and on the way home it went belly up for no reason, so we went back. The guys were great about it, and replaced it. First was for sure female as he popped the vent. This wasnt sexed, as I feared a belly up again.

If it is a female my male milk snake hybrid will be her mate.


And yes this post is slightly rambely, Im exausted.
 
This is the milk. Male verified by probing. Exact sp is unknown, but its believed to be a hybrid. Yes he is in shed, and yes he is skinny. He has not been eatting for almost three months. Was getting worried for a while actually. Turns out he like his f/t mice to sit for over 12 hours, sometimes for a few days. If it has any warmth he wont eat it and I had been removing it before that as I didnt want it to rot. My fault :(. I figured it out now and you can see a big lump from a "hopper". Guy was selling em as hoppers but they were the size of full grown mice.

cute little guy. Wish you wouldn't mix though. Ah well, its already established in the hobby, so it isn't as bad as some other sp.
 
You are so anti morph its not even funny so I knew if you chimed you would be against it. Lol.

Both are so established in the hobby its not even funny. Plus the milk is likely already a hybrid so its sorta moot.


He has eatten 2 pinks already. Great feeding drive, and great with being handeled.

Already eating is good. Yeah, like I said, not that big a deal with these species. Just personal preference for me :) to each his own.
 
this is the sort of snake one can produce
