Creatures & Critters are working with some obscure and uncommon species.

@BV It would be nice to see L. t. elapsoides established in captivity. Weren't sinolae and nelsoni scientifically regarded as the same thing?

I think L. zonata are highly underrated in SA and cant understand why they are not that popular. They are no more challenging than pyromelana

Elapsoides have tiny babies that do not eat pinks and are not popular overseas either. I am not sure what the story is with nelsoni/sinaloan status. It seesm to change every year.

L zonata are not that freely available and even in the States are not commonly traded. They do need cold winters though. There are some stunning ones.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.

Thought I'd join in...haha...
L.z.zonata's are amazing animals and do very well in captivity.I've had some for about a year now.One thing that I've noticed is that they do not like "hairy" food items.Mine will only take pinks with minimal hair on them for some reason.

@ndy, I've got an adult breeding pair of Jallisco Milk Snakes that I've decided to sell, if you're interested. Also, one large adult male Ruthveni.

Hi guys

Has anyone got eastern milk snakes? If you do have please upload a pic or 2. I got one last week and I would like to see others.

Thanks
There is something that is much more scarce, something finer by far , something rarer than ability.
