New here, i rescued these snakes take a look

i went into a pet store that was closing and i saw a tank with nothing but bedding no water hides or heat source so i just asked is there anything in here and the store owner told me that there were 2 corn snakes in there so i asked to see them and this is what i found coiled in the corner

new tank i set them up in

so i asked him what he was doing with them even though i knew they werent corns but milk snakes im pretty sure nelsons an albino and regular he said i could have them and a set up if i help him move some things so i did and left with the 2 snakes and a complete setup for free. these snakes would have probably died if i didnt ask what was in the tank. now they have fresh water heat a humid hide and a regular. here are some more pics (please correct me if im wrong on what kind of snakes they are i know milk for sure):confused: 99% Nelsons

good deal:gj:

so are they in fact nelsons or some other kind of milk snake?? also i forgot to add it seemed they didnt have food or water for some time they ate fast and drank for about 2 mins straight

Good Job! Always glad to hear of stories like this!

thanks guys. i felt bad for them these are my first snakes. my last snake was a ball python and got killed by a rat i thought i knocked out all the way:mad::mad: that was 7-8 years ago. now ill only feed frozen thawed.

They look like they are in pretty good shape!

Pretty sure they are nelson's. They look good too! Nice job!

Super nice find and you cant beat the price!! Those are nelsons and the normal one would be considered a reduced pattern nelsons.

Of course there is a chance that there is other blood mixed in like maybe sinaloan or another sub. Regardless, super nice looking animals and a great project to work with.

If nothing else.... You have a good story to go with them.

P.R

thanks guys for the reassurance. what does it mean by reduced pattern?? im going to take them and get them sexed soo ill see what i have they seem happy together i dont want to separate they are always coiled together do i have to separate them or could i leave them together??

If they're together now - and considering they most likely weren't feed well, I dont think you have anything to worry about. Feed them separately and give the several options for hides and you wont have any problems.

What I mean by 'reduced pattern' is that some of the bands are not complete and are somewhat aberrant. That is a trait that some breed for and ultimately produce a patternless snake. That's and outstanding pair - pair or not.

Hope that helps some.
