Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I am looking for a few snake suggestions. I am looking for the color patterns of red and black. In any order, pettern etc... Just red and black tho. Can anyone suggest any with these colors? My girlfriend wants a snake with these two colors. The best bet I've seen are some Amazon Tree Boas. I don't want to go with these tho since she wants to hold the snake. Thanks for any suggestions!

Any milk snake will fit the bill.

...and I think to myself, "What a wonderful world."

There are some people on the hognose forum who are having red and black tri-colored hogs. Might be an option for you.

I would suggest maybe an Arizona Mountain King Snake, I think thats which one has red and black and I believe white, still new at the hobby, just look up pics of king snakes other than the grey banded, and other than the b/w ones

1.0.0- Normal Corn- Ember
1.0.0- Ball Python- G.T.
1.0.0- Snow Pine- Snocone (no pattern)

If getting an Arizona Mt King - try for a young adult.
I just got a yearling - she still can't take fuzzies because her head is so small (she tries and has to abort), but she's got some length to her - which means lots of pinkies are needed to fill her.

If she's new to snakes, I'd recommend a species that is easy to care for rather than picking based upon looks.

A milksnake thus probably a good choice that has the colors she wants.
