Alrighty I got myself a snake! This guy is from a reptile store owned by breeders - He is 5 years old and was sold as a baby to some guy who went off to college and returned him to the breeders. Just a basic pueblan milk snake. Also fun fact - His dad not only escaped his cage but was found outside in the parking lot years ago. Lmao.
I need to think of a name for this guy. Suggestions welcome.

Congratulations on your new little guy :) and I'd call him Spot but then again you have to remember I'm Irish ;)

Congrats on the new milk. How's its demeanor? My Apricot Pueblan is super flighty and hates being touched let alone handled. He will musk me at any chance. If I'm trying to over food and he gets spoiled by my movements he will fling musk with his tail.

Very handable, energetic and wants to be on the move but not trying to fly away.
I think I have decided on the name Sibyl.

Glad yours is easier going than mine.

Sibyl is a good name but I still think Spot is better :D

Mine, and others that I have worked with, were all flighty when they were young and musked constantly. Over time they will calm down. Mine is still active and on the move when I handle him, but not in a nervous way. I can't even remember the last time he musked.

A great deal of pueblans never calm down completely and are very wirey but they usually outgrow the musk like Bandit said. :)

Very nice pick up, Jane!

Yep, mine is still a young one under a year old.

Great looking milk, I really like the pueblan milks, like the natural coral snake look. If it wasn't for they tend to be hidden most of the time and musk a lot I might have one.
