I just read the post about your red milk. First off man that is a beautiful speciman! I was just curious because you said it is a locality specific animal. As you probably know most field guides do not list the red milk as native to Alabama. However, I have picked up 3 perfect examples of these snakes in the Bankhead National Forrest in an undisclosed location....hehehe. I know that Dr. Mount only considered the specimans from the B.N.F. location as pure syspilla. Do you agree with this, or is your snake from a different locale in Alabama? I am curious only on a learning level and I am interested in absolutely no personal gain whatsoever. I am truly interested in this study for my future and it seems that you have similar interests since you are considering AU also. I hope to hear from you about this. I have a photograph of each of the animals I caught but I will have to retake a picture of the picture on my digital if you are interested. I apologize to anyone offended by this post since it is not in its proper place on the milksnake forum. Thanks alot.
