I dont know if it is a nelsoni, but there is an english version of the page available. Click on the English Flag and it takes you there.

I hope it is a nelsons because that would be very cool

What a beautiful milksnake! I don't know if I would guess nelsoni from the pic alone, but darn good looking animal.

I agree, its a very cool looking snake. I think hypos are the best looking "morphs" in all snake species. Its like they are still theri normal color but just was intense,I relaly like the black bands when they are that lavender brown color. Awesome snake. I hope its a nesloni-sinaloan,whatever.

How sweet would that be? I hope it is and I hope they find their way to the States.

My mind went right to a Louisiana Milk (L.t. amaura). My specialties are not with N.A. milks, but those out there (and you know who you are...) may want to take a crack at it. Just my thought.

Thanx Jer, I was trying to avoid this one....
I know exactly what you see and thought Annulata but decided it's more likely a Sinaloan or Nelsoni. Really need to see the adult form before making a declaration. I've actually contacted the fellow last year and the herp scene there is pretty run of the mill; not likely to find obscure milks in the (former)eastern block. Jeff
ps: no, there's no Micropholis, Dixoni, Blanchardi, etc...sigh..
