Well, all of mine seem to "anchor" it into my skin while I hold them. They just press that sucker up into my skin and then move around "securely". LOL.

I hope this is not too :-offtopic but can anybody tell me how you can see the difference between a black milk and an MBK? I think mine to be an MBK, but seeing these ones ... at first sight they are so alike... I read the tail thing, but as mine has had to have her tail taken off (apparently quite an accident before I got her, she was probably an escapee), I obviously can't look at it...

Glad to have found another Black Milk friend!

MBK has dark brown or black skin, Black Milk has white skin
You can see it when they stretch their scales. I have both and definitely see the difference now!

You know I have not been faithful with my picture taking of them unfortunately haha! I have a few shots on my cell phone but nothing all that great. My '06's are both solid black (well my female shows dim traces of color under her throat, but very faint now), and my '07 is mostly black but under the light you can see some banding still....but thats fading quickly too!!
And me too!!! So awesome to have found more black milk "fanboys" out there haha!!!

The Black Kings only get to 3 1/2 foot, while the Black Milks get 5 feet long. Also Black milks start out Tri-Colored, (black, red, and white), and slowly turn black as they get older. Black Kings are black from the day they hatch.
The difference between the two Black Kings, is the Black King, (Lampropeltis g. nigra), has white spots along their bottom jaw and dorsal, Mexican Black Kings, (Lampropeltis g. nigrita), do not.

Hello Lovin2act. I've seen you posting on the milk snake forum. Welcome, again, to the cornsnake forum. I've got 3 black milks. An adult male and female, and a juvenile male. I love them, too. Wonderful snakes. I've got a few photos, but they are pretty bad.

Thanks dnd!! Think I've seen you there too! I feel you on the pics though...my guys get antsy and dont like to pose for pics very much. Sounds like we have a similar amount, my pair are almost adults (4feet), and my smaller one is just becoming a young adult (32 inches). Really stoked to find you guys on here!!

I weighed Coal today, who's in blue again, and he's 297 grams and around 3 foot. For a late '07, I think he's probably going to hit the full 60 inches as an adult...
