Can someone please email me so I can email pics of a new kingsnake I got today. I think it may be a milk snake. Or might be something different. The pics are too big to post here, so I would have to send them via email. So if you can identify different kings and milks, it would be great. Please email me at Gravedigger90904@aol.com so I can foward the pics. Thanks

sent an email.

BTW you can use the email function by clicking on the username in the blue letters on any post.

It's a Pueblan Milksnake, at least that's my vote. Possibly a sockhead, really thick white band right at the head. I sent you the best two photos, the head shot and body shot back resized smaller.

Doesn't really look like a Pueblan to me.

Its rings dont go all the way around the body. I thought that milks' rings go all the way around. The red doesnt go around all the way.

Nope, has nothing to do with it. Some do and some don't and the fact that your campbelli is a little aberrant is another factor in that he/she doesn't have complete belly rings.
Its just a pueblan nothing more nothing less. They make good pets so just enjoy your milk snake.

That is just too cool. Did it tip out when it was full grown? Awesome nonetheless Tom Stevens

Some milksnakes can have incomplete, or obliterated rings for a number of reasons,.....and although it might not be the most glamorous example I've ever seen,.....it is indeed a Pueblan Milksnake(Lampropeltis triangulum campbelli) that does NOT seem to be crossed with anything, or hybridized whatsoever. The identification is certain,...this you can take to "the bank"!

If you took the snake to the "Meuseum of Natural History", and it was studied by the best taxonomist, he/she would tell you the exact same thing. The previous poster(Shannon) and I have seen and worked with many different subspecies of milksnake for several decades.
