I started with corn snakes in 2012 (my first snakes), but 2013 was the year of Lampropeltis (apparently). I got a (2012) Pueblan milk snake in April, a (2012) striped Cal king in July, a (2013) banded Cal king in September, and finally what I have been wanting for quite some time, a (2013) black milk snake on Christmas Eve. I really like how my Cal kings behave, seeming more inquisitive than my corn snakes (except one, my favorite SMR Okeetee). One is a unpredictable musk-flinging little brat, the other is very calm. My Pueblan used to be a musk-flinging pro but I think he's getting better. The black milk snake is very calm and chill. He's been here for a week and a day, and just took his 2nd meal with me.

Picture time. Then I'll probably go back to lurking on this board, admiring all the other great pictures!

In order, this is Sherlock the striped Cal king, Milkshake the Pueblan milk snake, Elliot the banded Cal king, and Loki the black milk snake.

Wow awesome snakes! Myself and 2 other forum members here have male black milk babies from the same clutch! Darth my Black Milk is the most laid back, docile snake i've ever kept. Eating machine lol! I'm glad we have another black milk to enjoy! Like DC said, everyone needs a MBK to add to their collection!:)

Funny, because I was offered one from someone that I'll be seeing in the summer! I'm up to 8 snakes right now; one is missing. I feel like I'm at my limit, but I guess you never know!

This forum came up quite a bit in my black milk snake research. I do know Knox from the cornsnakes forum, too.

Knox is a great guy and helped me make my final decision on my black milk. :cool:

Nice! I got my black milk locally, but I had been talking with Knox before I went and picked Loki up.

Mine was hatched 09/13, so I bet this forum will be full of changing black milk snakes in the next few years!

That and my girlfriend >.>

She isn't afraid of them at least not deathly. She has this idea all my snakes are going to turn against me get out in the same night and kill everyone -_- so right now I'm limited to 2 or 3. I honestly think 2 more and a BTS and I'll be alllll good to go.

I feel your pain kwhit. It took me a few months to soften up my girlfriend. I had 2 snakes but want at least 4. Just got number three today! I had to lay it on pretty thick though. A few more date nights, some "just because" flowers, and a gift card to go shopping was all it took. I love it when a good plan comes together :D.

But I'm gonna have to try that!

Just dump all your girlfriends and find one that loves snakes! problem solved. Only problem you'll be having is holding back the temptation to get more snakes!

Nice theory Mikoh. Unfortunately I haven't met many sweet, smart, sexy, snake-loving females in my area ;) . Rather than starting a new search I'll just keep working on the one I have. She's slowly coming around. She really liked the bull snake I got today so there's hope for her yet :)
