I guess I'm more excited about these kiddos than I realized! I took a wrong turn and posted this in the Kingsnake forum - thanks Dell for pointing that out! LOL

Here's what I posted over there:

Hi folks! Very excited to add this pair to my modest collection of snakes. I'm a ball python girl at heart, but the colubrids have been worming their way into my heart. Started with a striped albino cali king last year (who I absolutely adore), and the latest additions arrived at my friend Deborah Stewart's house today (so I wouldn't have to take off work today), courtesy of Kara Glasgow.

I decided a month or two back that I would like to have a jet black snake, and was trying to decide between a MBK or a Black Milk. I chose the Black Milks because of their eventual size, their ease of care, their reported temperment (although Kara warned me that they have the feeding response of a retic! LOL) and the fact that they are reported to be a richer black than the MBK's.

Before I post pictures, one thing I've found in my research is that caresheets on these guys are VERY generic, if you can find them at all. Do any of you know of any good Lampropeltis Triangulum Gaigeae specific caresheets that you can direct me to?

Here they are - and yes, I tend to name all my snakes!

Onyx, the wee little girl with a bit of stuck shed on her head:


And the handsome Jett, who aspires to be a rattler, so I'm told!


I get to pick them up from my friend over Thanksgiving weekend, but I know they're in good hands right now - and working their magic on her, because now she's talking about getting a pair of her own!

Thank you to Kara for putting these wee ones into my collection!
