Hey Keith! Nice animals you got there!. . . Don't know too much on these guys, so I'll ask: Are the Andean (giant) milk snakes the largest of that group or is it still Hondurensis? Are you going to get some of those Andeans (if they are available)?

L.t. micropholis is supposedly the biggest but I think the Black Milks probably as big or bigger on average. This snake here is well over 7' (thats documented). The guy in the pic Im told is very tall and he is the reptile keepers at the San Antonio Zoo. Black Milks for sure get bigger than Eastern Kings on average.

i guess ya'll mean these? these are '03 black milks they are cool but real shy,mine are anyway they are blue in pic i will snap better pics after sheds and post on the milk forum,,,,,,,thomas

JETZEN Jan 21, 2006 06:06 PM

That is very interesting they lost all their white but kept their red,The smaller one in the pic looks to be losing it's red but the big one looks like it maybe keeping it for awhile. I have never seen gaigeae like that, they are way neato. We're gonna have to do some trading again sometime.Here's one of yourn, i named her "MOTHER's WORRY" because she is growing more rapidly than her sibs.

They all measure around 17-18" and are pretty good sized. The biggest 05 is the male and he was hatched out in October the other 2 females were hatched in November and September.
