I don't know if anyone has seen this yet, but this snake supposedly was WC outside Slidell, LA.

Here are the pics that were posted. The OP thinks it may be the product of a Louisiana Milksnake and Corn snake.

Wondering if anyone else had seen pics of this thing yet.

i work with tri-colored west mexican lampropeltis. some morph, some hobby, and some locale.

everyone is entitled to their options, but no one's opinion will ever change how i feel about the snakes i keep and breed.

The Y or V on the neck is a characteristic of an Eastern Milksnake. The snake really looks like it could simply be an orange-tinted EM and not a hybrid. Lousiana Milks don't have the Y or V marking.

Here's an Eastern that I found in Illinois:

Third Eye Herp

I agree with the eastern milk thought....same idea

...I had wild found adult milks (pair) from southeastern PA that were orange ,top and bottom ,like that.....(both escaped in the house ,never found...3 easterns were the only snakes never found -escapes-in 20 years)..

...first thought my brain had was milk x corn too....had to actually look at it...the color is so off....

love to see the belly....

...have fun....

I see the nuchal marking, muted head chevron, postocular stripe, the color, and other intermediate characteristics it displays being exactly as what I would expect to see in a L.t.amaura x cornsnake hybrid. Now whether it is a product of the wild, or someone's released captive-produced hybrid is a question that cannot be answered.
