Anyone ever seen these or know what they are? I think they are very cool, but $1500?

Pretty sure a cow sucker is a black rat snake. Yeah, I've seen his calicos and lemons up on the rat snake forum before.

You sure they're not a type of milk snake? :sidestep:

I've heard eastern milks called that also. Farmers blamed them for stealing milk from sleeping cows...

Ah, the legendary and dreaded Chupavaca. :grin01: Cool, but I don't know if it's $1500 cool. :shrugs:

Actually, that would be the Calico Goat Sucker, which is another $500 since prey items would be much cheaper to come by :grin01:

Interesting. Vampire snakes. Good thing that they are priced high enough to keep irresponsible average joes from buying and then releasing them back into the wild.

that is funny... never heard of it... why are there never any Lawyer suckers or things like that... why always the harmless cow and the like :shrugs:

This is actually a color morph/pattern that showed up in Kentucky. That's what the locals called the snakes that looked like this and the gentlemen that caught them and bred them named them this. They are a type of Black Rat snake.

They remind me of a variation of the brindle black rats. I think they are very cool looking, but not worth that much money.
