Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

What milksnake is called the "Apricot milksnake"?
I will be getting this milksnake off of Craigslist on Friday and would like to know what type of milksnake it is. I'm assuming a pueblan, but I just want to check. Here's a pic :

Pueblan, Lampropeltis triangulum campbelli.

Thanks! Is the "apricot" a morph or just another name for them?

The term "apricot" indicates the coloration of the lighter bands. You can also have white bands, so the "apricot" label just differentiates the different color of those bands.

Apricot is a color phase of the pueblan.a normal can have yellow or white bands.
the wide banding on yours is desirable and denotes a high quality specimen.

Yes
If you breed 2 apricot pueblans together you should get all apricot offspring but don't be surprised if you get a white banded one in the mix.
