For Sale - 2009 Milksnakes

Vera Cruz Milksnake (Lampropeltis t. polyzona)

A rather rare large Central American Milksnake, also known as the Atlantic Central American Milksnake. Often the white bands are completely obscured with black, giving the appearance of a red and black banded snake! Typically, the red coloration takes on a more orange tone as they age. Our stocks descend from a group of four wild-caught snakes imported directly to us in the early nineties and are unrelated to other US lineages. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Hypo Honduran Milksnake (Lampropeltis t. hondurensis)

Hypo Hondurans are simply unbelievable! We think these are prettier than the albinos. Totally lacking black tipping and with very thin clean bands, all of the colors are accentuated into very clean and pure colors. Almost look pastel, or maybe plastic… A key genetic trait that should be in all collections of Honduran Milksnakes! Click here to learn more/see adults.

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, most are taken inside a standard 8oz deli cup for size comparison, and are updated as time permits.

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.
