What kind?

aalomon Aug 20, 2007 06:51 PM

Has anyone seen this kind? It was given to me as a california mountain king, but they are supposed to have completely black heads. So, anyone have any ideas?

Im sorry if I know almost NOTHING about king/milks. But I came to the forum looking for help, not to be made fun of. My mistake.

...trying to poke fun either, honestly. I thought I recognized the name as a prankster from way back. I sincerly apologize.
When I went to edit I posted instead.
That said, I'd say a hondo or other c. Am. milk. There ARE others who know way more about them than I.
Did you try the milksnake forum??

One of my reasons for the ill timed and tasteless response above was that that was my very first impression.
Can it be??

I have no information on this girl. She was literally dumped on me. All I know is that she is a she and that she was bought at some petstore in the southern end of the state. The previous owner is a friend that has broken off contact.
Well, because people seem to be thinking milksnake, Im going to move this to the milksnake forum.

Yeah, it does look a lot like a central American Milk snake. Definitely not from the U.S.

shannon brown Aug 20, 2007 07:38 PM

That is a andean milk. 100% positive. I have a male exactly like her if you want to hook them up e-mail me.

an Andean X Honduran cross. I've seen a handful of Andeans with a bit of orange in the center bands, but none that intense. It looks to me like it could have a tad bit of honduran influence. Nice looking snake either way. I miss my andeans.
