Rare milk snakes

Thought I'd share a few pics a friend just sent to me. As far as I know these are 2 of only 8 or so adult Ecuadorian milks ( L.t. micropholis) in the US and maybe anywhere. Originally collected by Bill Lamar. Only 20 or so babies were produced this year and I got shut out

..but...
Hey! I'm 1st in line for next year!

Very nice - these are big guys too - right?? Look a lot like the Andean posted earlier this week. It is unfortunate that some of these other large milks are ignored in favor of the dramatic hondos.

Look forward to seeing your hatchlings when you get some next year!

Hey Mark,
Man my snakes look great on this site!! LOL!! Sure are nice aren't they. Sorry you felt that you were shut out but atleast you get the picks of the litters this next year. I will send you a few more pics soon, most of the females were in blue.
Take care buddy.
