Really cool!

Seeing the real deal makes me realize just how bad/wrong some of the pics in a lot of milk snake books are.

DMong Sep 05, 2013 10:46 AM

Exactly,......these snakes have historically been misidentified and grossly misrepresented in many books and all around the internet forever! Most photos depicting L.t.abnorma are usually Hondo x polyzona, polyzona x abnorma, stuarti, or anything else but authentic L.t.abnorma.

Here's a much older photo of a nice 32 RBR male I acquired from Scott's bloodline......

cheers, ~Doug

Scott! Just when I thought it would never happen you do make a post.

Great looking animal... has that same dot on the "forehead" that made me pick out my Neo from last year... putting the hondo to shame when it comes to growth.

Hey Gerry,
I know-- making my annual post, right?

Glad to hear they're doing so good for you. These L.t. abnorma can get big !!

Thanks,
Scott

Man, those things are SWEET! The adult female looks clean as a whistle, too. How large is she?

Been meaning to get in touch. I'll drop you an e-mail.

Hey Cole,
The female is just under 5' long. These can get 6', rivaling L.t. andesiana and L.t. gaigeae !!

I know you've been busy. I've been swamped since earlier this year and it doesn't seem to be any break in sight anytime soon.

Thanks,
Scott

Hey John,
Thanks, and hope things are going well for you guys. I'll be shooting you an email in the next couple days, my friend.
