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.

Cast your vote here...
Hey everyone,
i have this female which i purchased as a Variable king.
However she was later returned to me after a trade because the person was told she was a Pueblan Milk.
What do you all think ?
Is she a thayeri king ?
Is she a pueblan milk ?
Is she a hybrid ?
Does anyone know of a way i can tell for sure? (a scale count of sorts ?)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you/Charles Glaspie

In my opinion, that is not a pueblan milk, not a pure one anyway. The black bands aren't wide enough.
It may well be a hybrid, or it could be a thayeri, they're so variable and I'm not particularly familiar with them.
Anything beyond it not being a pure pueblan is just speculation on my part.

Thankyou Clay.
Another possible hint may be...
She is really shy and "twitches" to make me go away.
Its like a tail twitch but she uses her whole body.
(She only does this upon initial interaction and stops after held for 2 seconds).
Is this indiciative of either species ?

Not 100% THAYERI
I have been breeding Thayeri for 13 years now and have seen all types of Thayeri from other top breedrs such as Bob Applegate and I know for a fact this snake is not 100% thayeri, the head is too wide to be pure thayeri and the bands look like it could be hybrid of some sort and shoudl be sold as one and not as a thayeri.

...but what type of hybrid could she be ?
Hello Andre
This is what i am looking to find out.(subject line)
Would you endeavor to guess what type of hybrid she could be ?
Whether i sell her or not,i still need to know what she is.
Here are a few more candidates i am looking at.
(New Mexican Milk Snake)

The animal pictured in the above link does greatly resemble mine.
However the one in the link below shows the same trapezoid shape to the white rings as mine and what appears to be the same shade of orange as well.
