KINGSNAKES AND MILKSNAKES

 
   

Nuevo Leon Kingsnakes

Lampropeltis mexicana thayeri

Our animals originated from Bob Applegate, Lloyd Lemke, Gary Sipperley, and Tim Gebhard's bloodlines.  Over the last 15 years, we have selectively bred the best of these for brighter coloration.

Although we also maintain a line of Pastel Kingsnakes, these animals are pure thayeri and are the prize of our collection.

Price:  $50 - $250

Queretaro Kingsnakes

Lampropeltis ruthveni

The ruthveni in our collection originated from Bob Applegate's line of amelanistic ruthveni.  We continue to maintain his line of amelanistic ruthveni.

Price:  $125

Ruthvens

"Pastel" Kingsnakes

Lampropeltis mexicana thayeri x ruthveni

These animals originated from an amelanistic cross obtained from Jeff Cerula.  The snake had already been crossed back into thayeri multiple times, and we continued his tradition by crossing these animals into our line of thayeri.  We are now producing animals that are better than 75% thayeri.

Like thayeri, these amelanistics are also highly variable.  They express soft pastel blues and pinks and are an amazing addition to anyone's reptile collection.

Amelanistic:  $250 - $500
Hets:  $75 - $150`

Eastern Kingsnakes

Lampropeltis getula

Also known as the "Chain King" because of their pattern which resembles a chain-link fence, this snake is the king of the common kingsnake.  As adults these robust snakes can exceed 6 feet in length.

We currently maintain three different localities with different characteristics. 

Price:  $35 - $75

Lower Apalachicola Kingsnakes

Lampropeltis getula "goini"

These snakes are produced from Len Krysco stock and originated from animals collected in Calhoun and Liberty Counties.  Our animals do not resemble the "blotched" kingsnake from outside of these regions; rather, they represent the patternless and aberrent snakes found in the lower Apalachicola region.

Both Kenneth Krysco and Bruce Means believe this to be a separate subspecies of getula and we tend to agree.

Price:  $50 - $100

Coastal Plains Milksnakes

Lampropeltis triangulum temporalis

These remarkable tricolors are the subject of much debate.  Scientists once believed these to be an intergrade population of the Eastern Milksnake and the Scarlet Kingsnake; however, recent mitochondrial DNA evidence would seem to suggest Red Milksnake influence.  Nevertheless, these animals are in our opinion a valid subspecies and are not relict intergrade populations.

Our snakes were obtained from Brad McKown and are pure Calvert County, MD locality.  The adults are het for hypomelanism and we will have both hypomelanistic and het animals available.

Eastern Milksnakes

Lampropeltis triangulum triangulum

A medium sized and highly variable colubrid with saddles that can be red, orange or brown with background colors of cream, peach/orange or even dark grey.

Our eastern milksnake adults are York County, PA locale and were collected from the same area. It is densely populated with eastern gartersnakes and the oppurtunistic milksnakes feed heavily on them as babies.

Mole Kingsnake

Lampropeltis calligaster rhombomaculata

We have three distinct lines:  Madison County, GA; Hoke County/Scotland County, NC (Sandhills); and possible het hypo.

The Sandhills locality snakes were obtained from Brad McKown, the possible het hypos are from Ted Thompson and the Madison County, GA from Bob McIvor.

RATSNAKES & CORNSNAKES

 
   

Mexican Baird's Ratsnakes

Pantherophis bairdi

Our founder stock came from Tommy Agosta and are classic representatives of this subspecies.  As hatchlings they are virtually indestinguishable from their Texas counterparts; however, as these animals mature, their morphological change is dramatic.  Their bodies turn yellow like the yellow ratsnake, their tails orange like the everglades ratsnake, while their heads maintain the metallic silver coloration of the Texas locality.  A truly unique ratsnake

Price:  $50

Everglades Ratsnakes

Pantherophis obsoleta rossalleni

This variation of the North American ratsnake is almost non-existent in the wild due to habitat destruction and encroachment.  The adults of this line were recently collected and are fine examples of the classic everglades ratsnake.  The exhibit overall orange coloration with yellow chins, creating that "sunset" appearance.

Price:  $35

Yellow Ratsnakes

"Greenish" Ratsnakes

Pantherophis obsoleta x quadrivittata

We have a soft spot in our heart for these snakes.  Long thought to be intergrades between black and yellow ratsnakes, the coastal examples are olive drab and exhibit both lines and saddles, much like the Gulf Hammock ratsnake.  Ours come from Clarendon County, SC and grow into very nice green adults.

Price:  $25

Price:  $25

"Blushing" Ghost Cornsnakes

Pantherophis guttata

These ghost corns came from Steve DeShon and are the weirdest we've ever seen.  Although they are pure ghost corns, the babies have a faint pink coloration between the saddles.  As the snake matures, it takes on a lavender hue with the typical "ghost" appearance.  They have to be seen to be believed.

Price:  $60

"Blushing" Ghost Cornsnakes

Tangerine Cornsnakes

Pantherophis guttata

Produced by Ted Thompson from Susquehanna Ectotherms, these snakes are gorgeous examples of the vivid orange and red that make cornsakes so popular.  Ted started this line in 1983 from Okeetee locality cornsnakes and they are easily the prettiest we've ever seen.

Price:  $50
