Arizona Mountain Kingsnake
(Lampropeltis p. pyromelana)
We cherry picked several bloodlines to assemble our founder stock. In spite of
all the hoopla over knoblochi, we still think these are the prettiest - and
certainly better represented genetically in captive collections. Matures
at about three feet. Click here to learn

What do all these numbers and stuff mean? |
 |
|
The description of each specimen is followed by the sex
of the specimen, it's date of birth, a stock number identifying the specimen,
and the selling price. Photos are of the exact specimen listed, are taken inside
a standard 16oz deli cup for size comparison, and are updated
monthly on average.
Understanding our stock numbers may prove helpful in identifying unrelated
specimens:
F021-01M
indicates a 2006 hatching (we started this code in 2001 with 'A',
2002 is 'B' and so on).
F021-01M
indicates the clutch number for that year, and thus all specimens listed
as F021- are from the same clutch.
F021-01M
indicates this is the first male from that clutch. F021-03F
would the third female from that clutch.
CB - Captive Bred, usually followed by year of
birth. Hatched or born from parents kept in captivity.
CH - Captive Hatched, usually followed by year of
birth. Hatched or born from a gravid wild-caught female.
WC - Wild-Caught. While all of our stock is produced
here, some of it is produced from wild-caught adults that we maintain. We will occasionally
sell some of the breeder animals as surplus.
LTC - Long Term Captive, usually followed by year of
capture. Applies only to WC animals,
indicates they have been maintained for a long period in captivity and are very
well established.
50%, 66%, 100% - Percentage of likelihood the specimen is heterozygous
for the listed trait. |
