Tough Sanderson tri-colors

John Fraser Aug 05, 2009 10:04 PM

A little off topic here on alterna, but a rare snake that is found in Terrell county sometimes. Here are photos of 2 wc Sanderson New Mexico Milksnakes that I produced a nice clutch of 6 neonates this week from & the neonates in a pile. Its taken me 20+ years to find 3 Sanderson milksnakes, they are a tough, secretive tri-color to come by from Terrell county, at least for me, considering I have personally found 30 plus alterna from Terrell county in the same time period. Thought everyone would enjoy seeing these milks.......JF
The wc male:

The wc female:

This weeks clutch of 4.2 neonates:

Thanks friends for all the comments, these 6 new borns all averaged 8.5" in length & weighed from 6.6 up to 7.4 grams each in weight. The next clutch is due out anytime & I will post the mother & neonates when I can. John F.
