Hello,
Well, it's a shame this thread got so silly so fast, but those are nice looking milksnakes... it's neat how the first black rings on the heads of the two females look like interlocking puzzle pieces. With regards to the PetSmart snake... do you happen to have one of its shed skins lying around? I doubt it would stay still while you flipped it over and counted the scales on its tail, but next time it sheds, see if you can count the number of subcaudal scales on the shed skin. According to Ken Williams' book on milksnakes, female Pueblans will have 40-46, and female Hondurans will have 49-58. Hopefully, that will clear things up.
