Anyone have any of these? How large do they get? Pics are welcome!
Thanks

This is one I produced two years ago. Annulata usually reach around three feet and have a fairly gerthy body compared to other milksnakes. They have one of the best dispositions in the milksnake family, that and their moderate size are the main reasons that they are my favorite milksnake.

Beautiful snake. I have seen some pictures where the spots on the back of the snake are more circular - is this unusual or more rare? Do you know anyone who is selling any?
Thanks

Spotted annulata are quite variable. The one in the pic is what I would call a lower end spotted. Specimens with a low spot/band count and nice clean spots like what you describe are a bit more rare to produce. Look back in the forum to Dec. 6 under " What morph are available in." Shannon Brown posted a pic of a real nice one, one like you want. I won't be releasing any full spotted specimens this year but I will have some hets/marker trait snakes to release. There is no true hets for the spotted trait since it's not a simple recessive gene trait. It is however very inheritable. Marker snakes usually have a solid bellie where the bands don't complete, they stop short almost giving the snakes a full stripe down both sides. And if any spots are present that would be a dead givaway that it's carrying the trait.
