Nelson Milk

He's tiny, but he's handsome:

What a beautiful snake! Even though I have all morphs, I still love the colors of a standard milk snake. How large do the Nelson milk snakes get?

[knox]

3 to 4 feet, but generally shy of 4. Sinaloans get a little larger. I would put them in the range of the Pueblan as far as adult size goes.

[BIGT FROM F.B.]

Nice. Keep putting pinkies in that sucker and it won't stay tiny for long.

[knox]

Thanks! He is eating larger pinks - that's all I have. Hope to have him on fuzzies after his first shed with me.

Wow, beautiful milk!

[knox]

He's a little flighty now, but should calm down soon. I had one years ago, and he was my most docile snake.

[EL Ziggy]

Very nice Knox. He is handsome. Did you give him a name yet?

[knox]

Believe it or not, I don't name my snakes. They are just "My Black Milk", "My Florida King", "My Okeetee", and so on...

Believe it or not, I don't name my snakes. They are just "My Black Milk", "My Florida King", "My Okeetee", and so on...
LOL. I remember a thread about people naming, or not naming, their snakes. Best wishes with the new Lampropeltis triangulum nelsoni ;)

[knox]

Thanks, E-Z! I sincerely appreciate that.

Yep, definitely a solid nelsoni phenotype. The meristic characteristics don't seem to display any L.t.sinaloae as so many intermediate crosses do in the hobby today. That is certainly good to see. ;)
