After wanting these guys and trying very hard for 13 years I finally have them.
I have 2.3 of these awesome gems and I have Nathan Wells to thank for it.

a sweet looking snake ! Nice score. How big are the hatchlings ? How big are the adults that produced them ? I thought those were nearly impossible to get. Is there only the one blood line out there ? Is there the possibility of other stock getting into the states ? Is this enough questions for you ? lol

Hi keith,

The adults are about 4-5 footers but they aren't very old.
There is only the one bloodline in the u.s.a right now but maybe in a year or so we can recrute a few others from germany?

Along with the blanchardi I produced this year these are the rarest milks in the states right now,
If I could just get the dixoni and smithi I would be down.I have produced every sub species of trianglum in North America and every central and south american as well except micros,dixoni and smithi.
Looks like I will have some micros in the near future to breed but the other two are almost impossible I think?

Shannon they didnt happen to share any of the pics of the adults with you did they ? I would love to see them. Ive always wanted a pair of Micro's hopefully a few more lines can get into the US like with what happened with the Black Milks. Again HUGE score Im suprised there arent more comments on them.

Keith,

I have several pics of the adults but they are prints.I don't have a scanner so I wouldn't know how to share them with you guys?

I forgot you asked about the size of the babies,They are a little larger than my baby hondurans.

One thing Ive heard about Micro's is that as adults they tend to be cleaner than say an Andeans. Is this the case with those adults ? Are those all Sibs you have ?

Hey Keith,
Shoot me an e-mail when you get a chance. I am out in California on vacation now but will be home in Texas tomorrow. I can fill you in on details then.

Andeans don't do much for me, but micropholis have always looked like interesting snakes, from the few pics of adults I have seen. Hope you help get them established in this country.
