09 Black Milk

[Brewster320]

I was at the New England Reptile Expo today and I wasn't expecting to get anything, just mice and crickets. I ended up coming home with a male 09 Black Milk. I was walking by the vendor and he pulled out the father to the snake I got to show people and I was amazed. It was probably one of the most impressive and beautiful colubrids I have ever seen, easily 6ft+. I did a couple of pass by's after that until finally I decided to buy one. He is 2 weeks old on Monday and is still in his first shed and hasn't eaten yet. The breeder told me I shouldn't have a problem getting him to eat and if I do just to contact him and he can do an extange or give me my money back. He was extremely help full and gave me all his infomation and a 3 page care sheet.

Update, this little guy shed yesterday so I thought I'd put some updated pictures up. Also my girl friend has named him "Mook". Why? I don't know but for some reason it fits lol. Enjoy!

Very nice! I love black milks and I think I remember the guy you are talking about. Assuming it the same person that comes to the Manchester show with his adult black milk Seeing the adult in person definitely put them on my "most wanted" list.

Yup that exactly who it is and that snake is one of my snake's parents. An extremely impressive snake to see in person!

ive had my eye on these for a while! nice baby!

Nice one! They're excellent feeders and grows quite fast from what I've experienced with that great species.

Congrats with the little guy. But I would change the name though. How about something related to confectionery? For example: Lollipop, Twizzler, Sugar Daddy ect.

I am so incredibly jealous...

I had a black milk adult once. Named him Ox. He was my favorite. (lost him in divorce ugh). just a beautiful snake 6 ft or so, it used to like to hang out on a cat perch and watch Tv...

he was dog tame, never had a problem feeding..

they're real gems. Congrats!

Was looking for them this year but they seem hard to find and by the time I found someone willing to ship to alaska.... It got too cold to ship. ugh. Next year for sure.
