I went to a show last week and saw a vendor with a snake marked "female black milk" for $100. I have a pair of 06 black milks and thought this would be a cheap way to make them a trio as well as the fact that this snake was about the same size as my growing pair too. I started asking questions and the vendor told me that it was 3 years old and a proven breeder. He said he was selling it because his male escaped and had no use for her anymore. That made the red flags fly and I said "you mean it's a black king. She looks small for an adult black milk?". He said, "No, there are Mexican black kings and Mexican black milks. And this is a mexican black milk. They are smaller than the other black milks." After hearing that I kept walking, but later started thinking. What was that snake? It did appear to have some very very light redding banding toward the tail, but other than that was jet black. Any thought on what it could have been? Do people hybridize black milks x MBKs??
