I might have the oppurtunity to pick up a real deal pure male blanchardi that I just found out an acquintince is looking to part ways with.

the only thing holding me back is the fact that i have only heard of 4-5 people that even have pure ones, so i'm worried that i'd never be able to find a female.

so is there anyone that has a legit pair they are breeding, or does the few folks that have them only have 1 and can't breed them?

any and all info on these guys would be greatly appreciated.

Contact Doug Mong, He has and knows of other pure bloodline Blanchardi if any are out there. SSSSssssnakebuz

Thanks for the reference, John. Hope all is well with your animals. A "little birdie" told me that you are finally getting some sweet locale-specific milks heading your way.

cheers, ~Doug

Thanks Doug. All is well, I have my long sought cosalas and have mazaltans coming next week. Life is good! On another note, I have a copy of the "milksnake masterpiece" book of yours waiting at Fedex for pickup. Can't wait!

Yeah, John......both types of Sinaloan are the bomb! I have a pair of Mazatlan, Mexico locale as well.

Enjoy the book my friend!

Hi Aaron. The bare-bones truth of the matter is that out of these very few folks that have these snakes(including myself), they have some degree of L.t.polyzona influence from the original female that was imported here to the states from the Moscow Zoo. Also, Blachard's milksnakes definitely do naturally intergrade with L.t.polyzona just to the south of the Yucatan in northwest Tabasco, northern Guatemala and northern Belize. The original sire was without question a 100% genuinely PURE L.t.blanchardi patternless specimen that was collected on a small chicken ranch just outside of Quintana Roo, Mexico on the Yucatan peninsula years ago. The pure L.t.blanchardi sire unfortunately is now deceased. In any case though, this is the only known bloodline of "Yucatan" milks available in the entire hobby. They are definitely some awesome and very unique milksnakes. They are much smaller than the other tropical milks, have solid black very pointed snouts compared to any of the others too, and are like little Mexican jumping beans on steroids come feeding time!..LOL!

Here are my pair, and I hope to produce some this next coming season.

cheers, ~Doug

Her's the patternless sire of them:

Thanks for the info, Doug.

okay, well as long as there are people breeding these whether they are 100% pure or almost pure is all I need to know. It's too bad that there is a little polyz influence, but if thats my only option, i'll take it.

I'm going to try and aquire this male I know of and maybe hit you up for a female when you produce some.

You're very welcome, Aaron. Sounds good. Yeah, these cool critters are the only known bloodline available in the entire U.S. or Europe. They are very unique indeed!

cheers, ~Doug
