Lampropeltis triangulum triangulum - Eastern Milk

This is my girl Carmella and some of her babies.... She is a sweetheart of a snake, never bit or musked and she eats from my hand. I really like her a lot, she is one of my favourites!

Superb Triangulum mate. Were these collected, if so what locale? I have just recently acquired a pair over here, Not as good examples as yours, however they are rather difficult to find over the Atlantic!

Re: Lampropeltis triangulum triangulum - Eastern Milk

I found Carmella in my yard suffering from frostbite, she came out of her den early and we had a freeze.

Most of her tail fell off from the frostbite, I treated it (there was bone showing) and she rewarded me with a 9 egg clutch.

Six of the babies have new homes with other snake keepers, I kept 3 of them.

Slow growing little snakes, had them 2 years and they are still rather small, even though they eat 3 pinks per meal.

Thats a great little success story there then. So where do you actually stay then? Do you know the sex of the Hatchlings? I Imagine you made sure there is atleast 1.1, ideally a 1.2 ratio.

I uploaded pictures of my little ones, but like you say, extremely slow growing, Ours are fed exactly the same on a 5 day basis.

Great pics Wayne,

I'll admit, I was clueless.... The 100% healthy hatch was exciting.
