That's a good sized Mexican Black King(L.g.nigrita). MBK's have a dark skin between the scales, and a somewhat duller to even brownish tint to their black.

Black Milksnake's have a whitish to a golden colored skin between the scales, are glossier black, and have 19 scale rows at mid-body. Black Milks also usually have a light colored throat as well.


best regards, ~Doug
