What type of milksnake?

palex134 Oct 20, 2004 08:03 PM

She was sold to us as a hybrid. She was a yearing and now shes 3 years old. She is 45 inches long. Any thoughts on what type or types? I would really appreciate it.

which would make it an intergrade, not a hybrid. Hybrids are crosses between species.

Either way, it is a pretty snake. The only problem I have with the idea of the Pueblan x Sinaloan cross is that 45 inches is big for either of those subspecies.

It's big for a Pueblan for sure, but I have a pair of Sinaloans that are 48".

I think you are right about the cross. It looks like Pueblan x Sinaloan intergrade, or what I would expect one to look like.
