My brother brought this fellow to me. He was caught crossing a road in San Jacinto county. I would like to get another possibly of the opposite sex but I dont Know its sex and I want the same locale. But I realized that I don't know anything about milks so ANY information will be extremely appreciated.

Thanks,

P.S. sorry for the poor quality... my camera sucks

I Need Information on Lousiana Milksnakes

The snake in the picture looks a lot more like an annulata (mexican milk snake). Check to see if both snakes occure in the area.

>>I Need Information on Lousiana Milksnakes

Like what kind of information?

I have kept amaura many times. They are as easy to keep as any small milksnake. They eat well and will breed.

This is where the trouble starts. The hatchlings are very small and will often only eat skinks for the first year or so. Once they get about a year of growth, the will learn to take pinkies (they are usually too small otherwise).

And in reply to the other response, that snake looks like an amaura to me.
