    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I got this little guy for free from my friends dad ( who happens to be a breeder
). Reason being that he has the smallest Kink I've ever seen( can't even see it). That aside, it says on his container that he is a spotted annulata Milk snake. I was wondering if Maybe they go by another name? Because I can't find many of his morph on the internet. Here's some pics taken yesterday :D

Also annulata is not a morph, it's the subspecific name of the species, Lampropeltis triangulum annulata
Most of the tri color milks and mountain kings are referred to by either the name of their subspecies or a shortened version of it.

Cool thanks. The labeling on his container confused me >.<

That Mexican milksnake may have come from a clutch that had spotted individuals in it. These morphs are also called "bullseye" annulata. The subspecific name "annulata" literally means "fully-ringed". This pertains to the white inner rings of the triads(rings of three) that go down the body in groups. Many other white rings in other milksnakes are incomplete and have black blotching in the white ring on the belly.

That is a really nice looking specimen I might also add, and definitely looks to be 100% genuine annulata with no crossed lineage of any kind. :thumbsup:
