If those snakes have white speckling at the end of the nose......they are probibly either Taylor's milks or possibly New Mexico milks.Central Plains milks are white,gold and black and are very rare to come buy and VERY pretty!Not to say that your snakes aren't. :)

No, your wrong. those look like and are central plains milks (lampropeltis triangulum gentilis) I would bet my life on it. Also Utah milks (lampropeltis triangulum taylori) (which you were calling taylors milks)and new mexico milks (lampropeltis triangulum celaenops) are harder to get than gentilis, look at the range maps! Taylori have one of the smallest ranges. celanops and taylori are also a lot more expensive than gentilis. Gentilis go for $75-$100 tops. Gold? the average gentilis is cream or wheat, if you ment gold to replace the red than are wrong again that would be on a hypomelanistic specimen and the average gentilis has red to orange bands. and as for white flecking on the nose, aboout 50% or more of central plains milks have that and it's not just flecks there could be a substantial amount of white, which is the same for celanops and taylori.

I never said you were color blind. I just pointed out your failure to determine a subspecies and pointed out the clarity that you know nothing about species of triangulum. I wasn't trying to be rude but you might want to read more field guides before you disagree with someones specimens, I recomend "the Systematics and Natural History of the American Milk Snake, Lampropeltis triangulum"
by Kenneth L. Williams
This is a great book and no one has published a better book on triangulum than williams has yet. I appologize, this will be a great book for you, especially if you find triangulum as interesting as I do.
