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.

Albuquerque Milk Snakes
A guy named Jim Kane in Tucson, AZ use to have a breeding group of these. Does anybody know who he sold them to or where I might obtain some specimens?

RE:Albuquerque milks
They were great animals, I had a trio at one time. Jim told me that you could triple clutch them with no problems if you fed them really well.

if I'm not mistaken
and i don't believe that i am, these are celaenops and vary slightly in color from different ranges. They are not of huge size and consider one of the smaller species of milks/tri-color milks. The most sought after ones seem yo come from west Texas of the Big Bend region where I have personally found 7 in 30 years. The ones there seem to be some what smaller but fairly bright in color. All range of the celaenops seem to do good in captivity except for the feeding of very young ones or neonates due to size e ? Note : the New Mexican/celaenops of the Big Bend area is in fact called the Big Bend Milk Snake.........

I seem to remember seeing those particular animals for sale a while back. I believe they were Albuquerque locality New Mexican milks (L.t. celaenops) and I am not real sure where they headed off to or of who might have purchased them. My friend Ric Blair keeps an incredible collection of locality animals (River Road and Black Gap, Sanderson and Alpine, TX) but I am not sure if he works with the ones from Alburqueque.
Good luck and I hope you track them down.

www.applegatereptiles.com may have some, give Bob a call and ask if he has any for sale, he has them listed on his price list for $100, but it has not been updated since April.
www.eastbayvivarium.com has them on their price list for sale for $100
Those are the only two I can find.

Albuquerques
Those were Albuquerque locality New Mexico milks (celaenops) that I produced back then. I'm surprised that you can't find any out there, as I produced well over 400 of them, and they did, in fact, triple clutch quite easily for me. The babies also did very well on pinks.
I'm sorry I don't have any names of who might have them, but they surely must be out there. Another guy who posts here has a bigger challenge, he is seeking some of the undescribed milks I worked with, and those were a small group, hopefully not lost forever. Good luck in your search.

I know this is a 6yr old thread but I am just wondering if anyone was able to track down any of these animals?
