Do you mean you are looking for a Durango Mountain Kingsnake (Lampropeltis mexicana greeri) or a Gray-bandd Kingsnake (Lampropeltis mexicana alterna)? Just curious, and I always have some greeri available for that is what I mainly breed. Let me know and thanks in advance

Your'e in luck, my friend. My son and I went to west Texas to hunt for graybands last week. (No we didn't find a grayband, but we did see 50 snakes, including almost every other species in the area.) We took a pair of adult greeri(durangos)to sell to hunters there, but we saw so few hunters and the ones we saw had no interest in the durangos. They bred earlier in the spring of this year, and she laid five eggs. I found them mating in the bag while we were in Texas last week, so she may very well double clutch this season. If you are interested, e-mail me at my home e-mail address, which is msdds@mstar2.net. I can e-mail pics to you if you wish, although the male is a little bit blue now as he approaches another shed. They are both very healthy and eat like crazy. Marlon Smith
another note: I also have a gorgeous alterna/durango hybrid which is pushing 25 inches now. He is only ten months old, but has been a great eater. I want to thin out our collection and would be willing to sell him also. Let me know.
