Thought I would post a pic of what may be my favorite milk snake


This adult male is from Wabaunsee co ks.It eats like there is no tomorrow and has very bright orange and white.
The female from the same hillside also has very orange saddles and she eats adult mice.
Do you guys have a favorite milk snake ?

Ahhh. Thats great Doug. If you get a chance post the others. That one looks great.

Nice milksnake!

If I were to pick a favorite it would have to be my 03 female Mexican milk. She is super calm, & gives me lots of big clutches.

This guy is a close runner up

So hard to narrow it down to one so can I have three?

This girl is 10 years old and I just got the first good clutch out of her in 2008.

This girl is 3 years old and I just got my first clutch from her in 2008 and man they were beauties. I need a new pic of her, she is much larger now than when this was taken about 10 months ago.

This girl is 8 and has consistenly produced big cluthes year after year for the last 4 years. A gentle giant.

Hey Dave, how big is that black milk? The picture of my male milk is about a month old, guess I should have taken a new one because he has lost a lot weight since that photo. However, I thought he was a little thin then so maybe it is just me.

Hey Joe, she is very close to 6 ft. I don't have her weight though I can tell you her nickname in my house is moose.

Dave, that Sinaloan is just incredible. I'd take that over any hypo-super-vanishing-diminished-extreme-lava-rocketfuel Honduran any day.

Thanks Mark! These Cosala locale sinaloans are my favorite. I need to take some new pics and stop boring you guys with these old pics.

Here is one of her babies and the clutch from 08

Here is an 06 male I can't wait to breed.

Honestly the photos don't do them justice if you can believe that!

"Wake me when it's April" pretty much sums it up for me also. If it wasn't for a room full of fussy hatchlings, I'd go batty fo sho.
Hard to pic a fav animal, but here's a hypo syspila that's unusually white, a hefty polyzona that's become a real pal and a glorious little normal syspila that posed well for a couple seconds.

Next year I'm having Christmas at your house!
Ah gee boys and girls, look what uncle Jeff got me!
Ooooh Ahhh! Nice! Mommy I want one, I want one too! LOL!!!
I'll have to post new photos of my polyz, there growing fast
and the female has already lost a lot of her white. I'm going to try and breed those Lincoln Co. gentilis for the first time
this upcomming season. Here's a couple of old pics.

Oh that's right, you have the Lincoln cnty NE line of gentilis! Umm, you'll want a stash of tails for the nates, they're not awful but they're not likely to jump on pinks for awhile.
Glad those polyz are thriving, that's Dad in the pic above.

Funny story about that snake: he tolerated (but was clearly annoyed)with a long hot photo session for that pic and just as I scooped him up to put him back a neighborhood kid with a passing interest in snakes pulled up and asked if I'd take a pic of him with that snake. I said sure, and handed Mr Polyz to him when Mr Polyz wheeeled around and walloped the tar out of the kids arm. Kids' Mom was there (of course)and I almost passed out from shock and awe as blood streamed down the kids arm and Mom started hopping up and down. Bloody Hell, what a day.
Couple more fav pics:
top: Amealco MX ruthveni
mid: the old blazing pale pic we've seen a million times.
bottom: normal yearling hypo syspila.

I'll get pics of my sibling polyzona pair to post here if you'll work on getting recent shots of yours Phil - cool snakes fo sho.

Jeff, There's a possibility that our Rutnveni are
from the same bloodline. I picked my pair up from Aaron Mattson.
The Dam was from Ric Blair stock, and the Sire was probably
the oldest living Ruthveni in captivity, he's over 25 yrs. old. It was collected by Lloyd Lemke and is supposedly het for aberrant. As far as I know both of those are now in Shannon Brown's collection. I'm going to put my pair together for the first time this comming season. I would be very excited to see an aberrant come from my pair! Very nice lookers you have there
Jeff.

Way to generate some photo action Doug!!Loving it.

I like that intergrade looking animal Doug. The wide wide bands of black around the red saddles are quite unique looking.

Pales are by far my most favorite snake, and hard to pick just one. But here is my first choice.

Bighorn co. male, multistrata.

I've got better looking syspila, but I love this big het. for hypo. female, she has produced some very nice hypos. She is so big we call her syspila gorilla.

And I think this gentilis is aces.

And to keep the South American guys happy. I like this Honduran, produced in 2005. -Dell

I'll go with my male mexican, great orange and a super mellow dude.

Todd Hughes

heres a start though

and don't forget

whith a couple of others as well

All very nice.That syspila is real nice

yeah Jeff,Five of my own and a stepdaughter but what does that have to do with the price of celaenops?

Thought I was being ironical.....a guy surrounded by women making a boob joke etc...its the equivalent of Foxworthy doing his redneck jokes.

I'd say this guy sits somewhere near the top:

Black Hills (Pennington Co.), SD

Agreed ,Cole. That guy is at the top of my list too! Love that animal.
