It looks like one of the mexican/central American subspecies of milksnake. I couldn't tell you which one for sure kind (he head looks honduran, but not the body?).

Try posting on the milksnake forum.

It's a Jalisco Milk Snake.

Compare it to mine... You can also see a pic of a full-grown by going to the classifieds on Milksnakes and searching (bottom of page) on "Jalisco". You'll get one hit with pics...

Thanks, I knew it was milk of some sort, friend just got him from a store on that day and they just labeled him as "milk", thats a pet store for ya? He shed yesterday and is probably the milk your talking about wp, still looks hondo though but whatever.

Some kings look like that too, but I really think it's a Jalisco.

Here's another pic of mine...

not a jalisco-they have al black heads....yeah it could be a more southerly form of milk,hard to be 200% sure,with all those dumbass man-made intergrades circulating....but as soon as i saw that,i felt pretty certain it's a honduran....what part of it's body looks 'non-honduran' to you,just wondering?and who'd you get it from,what can they tell you?
