Makes perfect sense Wayne!!!

Free. Yup. Free. LOL!!!

I'd pay no more than $50 - because I can't afford more than that. I'd like a lot less, but to be fair to you, I think $50 is a fair price. That's what I paid for Kenabec, my baby Hoggy.

There doesn't seem to be a call for them... much. I desperately want one as they're native to MN and I want to use it in the snake program, blah, blah, blah. Yours - from the pics so far - don't seem to be as 'burgendy' and 'silver' as the baby that was found about 40-50 miles south of the park I work at and we used at the State Fair. BUT yours are the same species (sub-species?) we have here and you're the only one I know to go to for a baby milk snake...

I just can't go out and snatch one up. If I COULD, I'd have done so.

Do you feel sorry for me yet? No?

Well... I tried! LOL!!!

eastern milks vary greatly, but they tend to lose the bright silver and red they have as babies and fade out.

BUT yours are the same species (sub-species?) we have here

Lampropeltis triangulum triangulum is the full species subspecies name for the eastern milk snake.

Amanda, That vendor is known for selling wild caught, and the fact that they are adult, and they know little about them, I'd wager to say they are. (W/C)

Also when I look at the markings, They are no where near as attractive as mine are.

However, I don't want to "extort" anyone, or price myself out either.

Having photographed the hatching it's easy for me to prove they were born in captivity...

Those ads do have my mind reeling, a 1 for 1 trade for more common species would seem very viable after reading that, Thanks Amanda....

You're a sweetie

Exactly my thoughts. Congrats to you on the CB beautiful healthy babies!!

And you're a sweetie too!
