Mexican Milk Snakes (L.T. Annulata)

 

Pueblans (L.T. Campbelli)

 

Ecuadorian Milks (L.T. Micropholis)

	The Ecuadorian Milksnake (L.T.Micropholis) has been one of the hardest to find sub species in the hobby. Until this year (04) they haven't been available to the public. Thanks to the efforts of Nathan Wells and Dave Dougherty these are now available on a small scale. Micro's are one of the four largest sub species of Triangulum. Black Milk, Andeans and Hondurans being the other three giants. Although some have a pronounced snout ring, most have broken up speckled noses. This very large milk inhabits the canal zone and eastern Panama south to south-central Ecuador (except the higher elevations of the Andes), east into Colombia and the coast of Venezuela.  I am very excited to be working with these awesome milks and maybe down the road we will see other blood lines as well. $750.00ea   Available in 2006

 

Conant's Milks (L.T. conanti)

	The Conant's Milk (L.T.Conanti) is another rather small Central American sub species of triangulum.  They reach about 46 inches (mine are only about 36) and have a pretty low band count. Their range is the Sierra Madre del Sur in Guerrero and Oaxaca, Mexico. Mine are from Acapulco and are F1s from a German breeder.   $100.00ea

 

Jalisco Milks (L.T. Arcifera)

	I didn't know that my Jalsicos threw off aberrant babies till this year. I bought this adult pair two years ago as adults. Last year I got nine babies and some of the babies were missing some bands like the adults but I didn't think to much of it. Well this year I got only seven babies but to my suprise there were three very aberrant babies with one of them being almost totally striped but it only lived about 24 hours. The other two are doing great and I plan on keeping them.

Pacific Central American Milks (L.T. Oligozona)

	The Pacific Central American Milk (L.T.Oligozona) is actually one of the smaller varieties of the larger Milks. Most adults only reach 36-42 inches full blown. Most of them don't have much of a snout ring but it can be seen on juveniles. Their range is the pacific slope of Oaxaca, east and southward to the coast and foothills of Chiapas, Mexico, and Guatemala. The Oligozona is also believed to intergrade with Conanti and Campbelli in the vicinity of Tehuantepec Oaxaca,Mexico. It also looks as the may intergrade with Stuarti, Hondurensis and Abnorma.  I also have two lines of Oligozona. The first is the old U.S. line with no locale data and seen to be pretty dark. I suspect they could have some other influence in them? The second line is from Germany and mine are F1s from Chiapas Mexico.   $100.00-200.00ea

Atlantic Central American Milks (L.T. Polyzona)

	I have four lines of polyzona. The first is a line that was brought into the country more than 12 years ago by Scott Ballard and is from Northern Guatemala (Flores-Largo de peten area). John Fraser produced my animals from F1s out of Scotts original trio.   The second line is from Brain Richardson and is out of some animals that Terry Vandaventer had gotten from Ray Guese. These animals are from the mid Atlantic coast near Veracruz and look a little diferrant. They have a much cleaner and wider snout ring and have a higher band count. I also have this nice very very large group of 1.2 non locale trio that I accuired from a breeder in Austria through the help of some friends in Holland and Germany.   I also have this other line of Polyzona that was once believed to be Abnorma by many in the states. Its a bi-colored red and black animal thats not that attractive and actually has silver bands that gets overcome with black as the snake matures. This line was first offered by Jimmy Mabe of Caraway Creek reptiles back in the early to mid 90's as Abnorma and many of them were sold as such. I even had bought a couple pair myself. They are scattered here and there but now its really hard to find a female and I am stuck with two lone males as I know of two other poeple with lone males as well.

Andean Milks (L.T. Andesiana)

	The Andean Milk (L.T.Andesiana) is reported to be the largest milk of them all. It reaches lengths of six foot or more and is the southern most subspecies of triangulum. Their range is that of the high elevations of the Andes in Colombia and they have been found as high as 9000 feet.   $100.00ea

Stuart's Milks (L.T. Stuarti)

	This nice 1.2 group of adults of pure Costa Rica Stuarti is from Dennise Mountain stock and are some of the best you can find. My good friend Scott Ballard was lucky enough to stumble across these and let me know about them. We also have a sub adult female that will be ready to breed in another year and we will be breeding her to a wild caught Nicaraguan male that is pictured here as well. He is one of my favorites snakes in my whole collection cause he is just so different. If you are looking for some very nice stuarti look no further.   $100.00-200.00ea

Hypo Stuarts Milks

	This is the only pure hypo stuarti that I know of.It was produced last year while a great friend of mine (Scott Ballard) was holding some adult stuarti that he had helped me in purchasing.As a fresh hatchling you couldn't tell that there was anything special about this animal.After I recieved all the animals including three offspring I decided to sell one to another great friend Nathan Wells.After several months of growing Nathan sent both Scott and I pics of the snake.We could see right away that it was a hypo all the way.Anyways,I was not blessed with any eggs this year but really hope to pump some nice clutches out next year.The possible hets will be $150.00ea 100% hets (when availible)will be $250.00ea and visual hypos will be $500.00ea These are from the Dennis Mountain stock animals.

Guatemalan Milks (L.T. Abnorma)

 Yucatan or Blanchards Milks (L.T. Blanchardi)

	The Yucatan Milk or Blanchard's Milk (L.T.Blanchardi) is one of the coolest and rarest milks in the hobby. I only know of one other breeder with any and they are unrelated to my line. This snake is given away by its nice bright orange slats on a dark bright red body. With a black snout and a orange ring on the back of its neck that's sloped forward. It appears as if the snake is wearing a helmet. This snake is medium in size, with adults reaching about 38-44 inches in length. Their range is the Yucatan peninsula, including Campeche and Quintana roo.  My line is from Germany and to my knowledge I have the only captive born babies of this sub-species, to date, in the U.S.A. My male is totally patternless and was W/C as a juvenile in (94). My female was also W/C in (97) as a adult and when I bred them this year one of the three babies was partially patternless!    Well,this year, we got four babies out of seven eggs and all four were aberrant, with one being patternless like the father. I guess this tells us the gene is pretty much co-dom. $750.00ea

Black Milks (L.T.Gaigeae)

	Black Milks (L.T.Gaigeae) are one of the bigger milks, as well. They can and will reach lengths of 6 foot or better. They start out as nice bright tri-colored hatchlings but undergo something that no other milk does and that is that they turn solid black as adults. The change actually takes place every time they shed their skin. Their range is Costa Rica and Panama and they like it were its damp or moist and at relatively high elevations.   $100.00ea

Mystery Milks (L.T.??????)

	These are some mystrey milks that a friend of mine has gave me to kinda play around with.I am pretty sure that they are both hypo but I am sure that one is anyways.I am not sure but I think that they are abnorma but they could be abnorma with some honduran influence in them? They have high Red band counts and they do key out for abnorma but with no locale data its almost impossible to I.D. them for sure. They are both males and we are still trying to track down the rest of the clutch and maybe the importer etc.......Fun stuff.

L.T.Smithi and L.T. Dixoni
These don't occur in U.S. collections and may not exist in captivity at all!!
If anyone knows where there may be some of these. Please contact me.....
