Cool links

OK, that's it Steve. You must get me a red milk snake. A young and very red one.

I like the easterns but the red phase and they tend to dull and turn brown with age so I think it's a red milk from Iowa is what I'm really after.

Here's that other Milk Snake I found on our trip.
Beautiful snake. Sorry it took so long to post. This photo was on the internal camera memory and I couldn't find the cable for downloading it, until this morning.

Very cool Steve! That is one of the best colored milks I have seen.

A big adult and it's still red. Wow! OK, now you're just tormenting me.
