...pyronata....very common in the mtns S& E of the Sierras...so common in fact...we used ta heave em out of the milking parlours w/ a pitchfork!
The only other possibility is someone created it....

if you meant lampropeltis pyromelana or zonata,i am pretty sure it's not either of those.it's 100% central/south american,maybe a captive bred intergrade of more than one species....so many from central/south america are superficially very similar-and it comes down to meristics(scale counts,triad numbers,etc.)...more common ones it could be are black milk,stuart's,maybe ecuadorian milks

its BEEFY almost looks like a Black Milk (L.T.Gaigeae).Chris

I would say some kind of Central American Milk, maybe stuarti.

shannon brown Sep 22, 2005 02:19 AM

yes.

Aaron Sep 22, 2005 11:21 AM
