I've been biting my tongue (figuratively) on this one, but this thread has gotten so long (wide) that I have to use a horizontal scroll bar to view it. Call it a pet peeve.



Dan, it's great that you're interested in milksnakes, they're a wonderful species. Asking questions is a great way to learn about an animal's needs before you decide to get one. That automatically puts you one step ahead of the average bozo who would just walk into Petco and buy whatever looks pretty without any forethought.



However, the speed with which you reply to peoples' posts, and the way you're asking the same questions over and over again, makes me wonder if you are really taking the time to read what people are writing for your benefit. People have posted several pictures just the way you wanted them. Several others have explained basic recessive/dominant genetic traits and the different morphs that are out there. I realize it's a fair amount of information to assimilate, but I really think you should slow down and take a closer look at some of the resources that are available to you. Drilling this forum for basic information (frequently asked question) is really not the best way to go about it. People have pointed out some good informational websites to check out... Terry's site, Albino Tricolors in the sponsors section near the top of the forum, and The King & Milk Snake Page, which is linked a little further up, would be good places to start. VPI (www.vpi.com) has some good info. on Andean and Sinaloan milks that you might find interesting, they are two other large and colorful subspecies. I strongly suggest you do some more research and come back to the forum with some well thought out questions. People generally don't mind answering thoughtful questions, but may lose patience at repeatedly answering simple ones. That is why FAQ documents exist.



Now, back to biting my tongue...



Nate
