I am absolutely up to my neck in Eastern Milk Snakes and Garter Snakes. They live in the walls of my house. This one was about 2.5 feet long, but I have great pictures of a full 4 footer that I found shedding in the insulation of my oven...lol

Nice to see you back on the forum. Great pictures.

Nice gallery. Seems the snakes know just where to go.

Very good photos, they sure like your house.

I found this golden coloured one behind my house.

[ConcinusMan]

oh wow, not flashy, but that one's a beauty.

Here's what I was referring to when I said that eastern milks have a "red" phase. Of course, you can never tell how even the redest of babies will turn out as an adult but some do remain quite red:

I WANT this one so bad.......

[ConcinusMan]

Yup, those are pretty. I think I read somewhere that those are less common but can be found in Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska and that they remain red.

It's hit and miss with eastern milks, and there is much variety and a wide range of shades and colors. I really like that "golden" one you found. Pretty nice.

That was a difficult one to leave alone, Never saw it again after I took the pictures.

But I do realize I can't keep every snake I find.





This one was all attitude, kept striking out, so I left that one alone.

Very cool snake(s) though. A little attitude isn't always a bad thing. Who knows, that snake might have settled right down if it was kept and handled a little. Very handsome looking milk though, both of them.
