Pueblan
Milksnake Caresheet
Available HERE
 
Native
to Mexico and Southern Texas, where it can be found in dry arid
habitats
at elevations from 4900 feet to 5500 feet. Pueblan Milksnakes
are moderatley sized snakes, hatchlings emerge from their eggs
at around 7-8 inches and reach an adult length of approximately
three foot.
They are perhaps the easiest of the "triangulum's" to
care for, Although the young snakes can be somewhat nervous
and aggressive, they calm down as they
mature.
The color and pattern of Pueblan Milksnakes can be extremely variable and several
phases are known in the hobby, as well as some adherent individuals appearing
in clutches.

with very wide white
neck bands, were the first mutations to appear.
has
bands of black, orange, black then red. These are very popular
because of there bright
colours. Another phase in the
hobby is the where
the orange bands, yes you have guessed are a pale orange colour. also
named Pueblan's
have very wide white bands and little red colouration.
A mutation coined is
black & orange. are
bi-coloured having very wide black bands with thin orange bands.
at
the right of this page looks similar to
the "Halloween" phase mentioned above, but "Halloweens" usually
have less red colouration, this specimen also exhibits some aberrancy in
it's patterning.
Our are
a result of breeding the Albino gene from a Ruthvens Kingsnake
into the species. They
are georgeous looking snakes in shades of bright oranges, lemons and creams.
Other lines of Albino Pueblan have been bred using a Nelsons Milksnake to
introduce the Albino gene.
Our breeding projects with the Albinos include using an orange phase Pueblan
to intensify the colours, and also to increase the percentage of "Pueblan" in
the Albino.
The
Pueblan Milksnake at the top left of this page is heterozygous
for Albino, An Albino
Ruthveni was one of the parents and the
other was the Orange Pueblan
pictured at the top right of the page. As you can see the heterozygous
snake is much brighter, i hope that the "orange" with
selective breeding will pass through to our Albinos making them
more colourful
and defined.
