Moooooooore milks...and extras...

zonatahunt Aug 09, 2011 10:23 PM

Okay, so I'm posting more photos mainly to satiate the desires of one of our fellow forum members. Plus, my favorite snake in my collection finally shed, so I thought I'd bore everyone with his photo. Anyhow, here we go again.

This is a 2.5 year-old female Johnson Co. syspila that double-clutched this year, even though it was her first year to breed. There are now fourteen of her progeny driving me nuts now!

She's not a cal king! Nor is she one of those infamous insular critters. She's just your friendly neighborhood black-and-white zonata. If you want to see her hatchling and adult photos side-by-side, just visit the kingsnake forum.

Still not a milk, but by far my favorite zonata. He's the first hatchling I produced from my second locality of coast whiteheads.

This is my adult pair of St. Mary's Co. temporalis. They bred for the first time this year and I was graced with a pair of gorgeous little hatchlings. I have three distinct lines of St. Mary's animals, and this line is the one that reminds me of an elapsoides more than the other two. Here's the male.

Here's his girlfriend.

...and I'll finish off my post in the milk snake forum with none other than a granite corn snake (anerythristic bloodred).

Once again, thanks everyone for looking!

Mitch

Once again you've outdone yourself! Great stuff Mitch. Love the syspila (of course) and really dig those zonata as well! will have to check the king forum too to see what jems you posted over there.

those st. marys animals are quite unique. I have never seen any that look like those animals from that locality! Quite unique!!

thanks for sharing and keep them coming. I know you didn't even put a dent into your collection with these photo series!!
