    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....

1? Axanthic brooks -- suspect female. She's approx 4 years old. Most ferocious eater in my collection. Tame as can be when she realizes there is no food. $50
1.0 White side brooks, approximately 3 years old. $100
1? Thayeri king. Approximately 1.5 years old. $70
2? Mex Mex kings -- suspect males. Approximately 3 years old. $75/ea, $140 for both
1.1 Desert Kings (L. Splendida) approximately 2 years old. $80/ea, $150 for pair
1.1 Mexican Milk snakes (L. t. annulata) approximately 3 years old. $75/ea, $140 for pair

Being kings and milks, these are all solid eaters. The Brooksi, male Splendida, and Thayeri will feed from the tongs -- aggressively so. The female Splendida, L. mex mex, and L.t.Annulata will feed just fine, but I usually have to leave the food. I assume it is because of the secretive, nocturnal nature of these desert snakes.

Updating this post to reflect that I still have the above snakes available as of 11/9. Weather seems to still be fair enough to ship.
$55 shipping via SYR.


SOLD!! 2.1 Mexican black kings. 1 Male is about 3 years old. Other pair is about 2 years old. $125/ea, $350 for trio.
SOLD!! 2.2 Black milks. One female is 4 to 5 years old, fully black. The other trio is about 1.5/2 years old and almost completely black now. $600 for the group (prefer to sell as a group).

Pictures to follow.

First, the mexican milksnakes. Easier to trap a wolverine naked in the snow than capture a focused, framed picture of a still Annulata.

The Thayeri...

(plus slightly focused tail shot if that helps -- I'd think female but I'm an amateur)

More photos...

A few of the milk snakes. It looks like 1/4 of my snakes decided to shed just in time for pictures.

These are of the sub-adults. I'm sorry I can't be sure in which order I took the pictures, so I can't point out the males. I'm sure I got at least 2 different animals pictured here, if not all 3. They are, like the Annulata, corpuscular and didn't like being out in the bright lights so decent photos were difficult.

I think they've only ever missed a meal when in deep shed. Otherwise, they've been very dependable eaters, very muscular, and very secretive. And now that I have them out in the bright light, I see they still have a fair bit of their multi-coloration left.

Black mex kings

SOLD!!

The youngest, the boy, was in shed, so an in-situ quick snap.

The girl, who is perhaps 2.5 years old now, give or take, was a picky eater for a few months, but has been just as greedy as her younger boyfriend for the last year. She's shy to eat, unlike the other two males who will leap out at you if you're not careful.

Last one is the larger male, 3/4 years old.
SOLD!!

Black milks available

Yes, as of Monday (10/17) evening. Probably will be sold by tomorrow. Several folks have asked for a price on one pair, which is how I may end up going. I'm giving preference to anyone that's interested in one or more of the other snakes (including the corns and E. Carinata's I have listed in the Ratsnake classifieds).
 
Just an update -- I've sold the black milks and Mexican black kings. I still have the rest of the king snakes and Mexican milk snakes. I also have a few corn snakes listed in the corn and rat snake sub forum.
