Sinaloan Milk is where my money would be.

Hi,

I think it looks like a sinaloan too - next time he sheds I would keep a hold of it to do some scale counts to see if that helps.

I don't know what type your snake is but I am really drawn to the appearance of milksnakes.The colors on all of them are nice.

that's a Sinaloan Milk Snake

Sinaloan, one of the best of the milksnakes.

Looks like a Sinaloan to me too

I usually don't see milk snakes with white on their face like that.

Its definitely not a black though, those are much more murky on the white and turn black when they grow up.

Hondurans tend to have white on their face.. but they don't look as clean..

So the best bet is that it's a Sinaloan.

looks like a nelsons to me, but I have not seen one with the white on the face.

It could be a nelsons..
But usually they have more yellow than white.. and have skinnier white bands?
But I've seen a few with white bands on their neck like his.

Looks like a sinaloae to me. I have seen some with white on there face as well. Beautiful snake by the way. :)

Usually I would have no idea, but I just went to the Iowa State Fair and they had a snake house and that snake was there! It was one of those "is it this or that" things.

thanks everyone for helping, and thanks, i think she is beautiful too!

My guess is Mexican milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum annulata). Just like mine, but there is no yellow or white in the snout.

Can you post a ventral shot of this milksnake? So i can compare to my milksnake.

If you mind I can post my milksnake in this thread, If its ok for you.

its not a milk snake its a coral snake better watch out they are poisonous and can kill you.:rolleye2::P:D;):banana:

It looks more like an integrade to me. Not enough Sinaloan and not enough Nelsoni, but a perfect combination of the two. Sinaloans tend to have longer red bands with thinnner triads. Nelsoni usually have slightly narrower red bands, but wider black bands. I would say it's a mix. Either way, they are too closely related to say for sure. Pretty snakes.

Definately not an annulata.
