Hey guys I work at PetSmart and we recently got a milk snake in while I was not there and nobody knows what kind it is so today was feeding day and I snapped a pic to ask you guys. My guess is pueblan or Mexican, but I don't know much at all about these guys as I have never had one myself. Thanks in advance!

Looks like a Pueban to me.

Yeah that is a pretty one. And for future reference, every milk I've ever seen at a Petsmart/Petco have been Pueblans. I don't think they get other species very often.

Yeah that's what I originally thought but sometimes we get a bit different stuff like this lemon blast ball we got right now and we had some other tag for a milksnake it was like apricot but I put the pueblan on it a while back and it's been bugging me ever since lol so I had to verify it with you guys!

Apricot is a morph of Pueblan. Just means instead of white bands it has yellow bands.

I work and have worked at petsmart for a number of years. I would say you are right, the majority are Pueblan, but we have also gotten Honduran, and at the moment, at my store we have an albino Nelson's. That being said milksnakes are not my thing and my knowledge of them is much less than of other snakes.

I know the majority are Pueblans, and that's all I've seen there, but I know they probably get other species of milks every now and then.

I recently saw 3-4 baby corns but I see them every time I go there for food.
