Non Milks, but still Lampropeltis

[TremTricolors]

I will step away from posting some more milksnakes and post some of the most under - rated snakes in the genus of Lampropeltis.IMHO. Lampropeltis calligaster or most commonly known as the Prairie Kingsnake. These are some of the most docile snakes I have ever worked with. They don't come in a bunch of morphs so they certainly don't get the attention they should. Here's one of my hypomelanistic males and one of my amelanistic males. They won't sit still for anything so sorry for the pics. Almost forgot, in some of the most recent years some have hatched a striped phase but needs to be worked on to see if it is genetic or just a change in incubation temps.

Thanks! I wish they will stay still long enough, I guess they will have to have a photo shoot on an overcast day to capture their true beauty though.

Ah I see! Thanks my brain just wasn't functioning. Like I said I will throw some pics hopefully together by weeks end. Some are shedding now so they should be nice in a few days.

theapexgerman- Here's the tangerine gravid last year

[TremTricolors]

Ooops wrong one!

[theapexgerman]

Now those are the pics I like wow so bright and can't wait to see the post shed pics to

[TremTricolors]

Here she is with her clutch

[theapexgerman]

Wow she's doing a pretty good job at guarding them looks like I always wonder is it hard taking eggs from an female snake?

[TremTricolors]

No not really, most of the time female colubrids crawl right out of the nest box after they are done depositing their eggs. Usually within 24 -48 hours anyway. They are not like pythons and sit with them til they hatch. She was a little nippy last year but she had just got done and she was still pretty weak. But she ate that evening and wound up having another clutch later in the year.

[theapexgerman]

wow now that's cool imma going to start breeding next year my male albino nelson to an T-postive albino female nelson so trying to get all the info I can

[TremTricolors]
