I bought these two snakes as Durango Mountain Kengsnakes or Lampropeltis Mexicana Greeri. Please tell me if that is in fact what they are. Here is a pic of number one.
Thank You,
Ken

Please help.
Thanks,

sorry pics so bad.
Thanks,

Definitely mexicana. It's hard to tell if they're pure Greeri, they may have some Thayeri in them. Anyone else?

Greg

is there any chance this is what snake number 2 is?

The guy I got these off of said he thought they were mexicana greeri but he wasn't sure. From the research I have done I think he is right about number 1 but I think number 2 is a mexicana mexicana. Would just like your openions please.
Thanks,
Ken

This is a full- blooded genuine L.m.mex. F-1 from WC. YOURS look like greeri or maybe some thayer blood but if not pure greeri then pretty close IMO

you decide

I have two new L. mexicana mexicanas. I agree with kingaz and jetzen that they look like a cross between a L. mex greeri and L. thayeri. To me they look a little more thayeri than greeri.

sorry for the error.

thats what many of the original wild caughts looked like.

the second snake could go either way a (greeri or thayeri, although I am leaning a little towards thayeri) as far as pattern is concerned but you keep cutting off the main thing we need to see, the head. Could you give us a better head shot on the second?

After taking another look at #1 i agree it's a thayer's. I THINK the #2 is a greeri pure or pretty close.

and I thank all of you for the pics of your snakes and your replies. I am sorry I don't have any more pics. I knew I would get help on this forum.
Thanks again,
Ken

they are super cool anyway.
