Locality Louisiana hatchlings

This was a very exciting clutch for me - amaura Jefferson Parish, Louisiana locality. They came out much bigger than I thought and are pretty laid back so far. LOL.

Wow, Jefferson Parish is just outside of New Orleans. I grew up the the Big Easy, but never found any Milks. I really didn't search much for them. I hunted Speckled Kings mostly. Congrats Dave!

Disclaimer: I do keep several snakes in pairs, and some in groups. However I realize that things can go wrong, and I have to keep a close eye on those groups, to be sure they are not being adversely affected by these living conditions. Also if one happens to eat it's cagemate, it is 100% my fault, and I know the risks in advance!

What's wrong with using CAUTION?!?!?!
King Snakes! Who can make a better mouse trap?

Wow Dave,

Very, very nicely done! Those are some lil' beauties and crazy plump... apparently you've been rather busy as of late!!!

Truly great to see the newbies... I am far too seldom on here anymore -- tied up with a non-locale breeding project of my own. My daughter will be born in a month, almost to the day in theory. Been trying to maximize my outdoor time prior!!!

Always great to see what you've got cooking in that stellar collection of yours! Hope all is well and take care man!
