These are juvenile and sub-adult animals that are being fed well now in hopes of being breeders in years to come. The pictures below are actual shots of my future breeders and will represent my breeding stock.

Lampropeltis getula californiae

L. mexicanus alterna

Lampropeltis getula ssp.

Lampropeltis getula nigritus

Very solid black snakes. And yet another great pet Kingsnake for beginners.  A jet black snake, with small traces of white under the chin.

Bull Snakes / Pine Snakes / Gopher Snakes

Snakes of the genus Pituophis come in three main groups: pine snakes, gopher snakes and bull snakes; they are some of the largest North American colubrids. Some specimens are prone to loud displays of hissing, vibrating their tails and opening their mouths to strike. Although they usually calm down after a relatively short period of handling.

Gopher snakes are related to pine snakes and bull snakes. Though they are relatively small in body mass, they are quite strong. From hatchlings to adults, Pituophis are very hardy; I haven’t seen one that wasn’t a chowhound ! ! !
