So I caught these 2 in the same county but they look way diff kindof but here is a couple pic's. I would like some insight on it. Im kinda thinkin that the second one could of bred with a rat snake makin it a wild hybrid or just a different red milk snake morph but totally not shure. But I did catch these in the same county.

Cool Ill look into the central plains milk snake I didnt know we had that in our state its not in my book an the only one iv seen in my whole life of catchin snakes.
 
What I find amazing for w/c milks is that they are both eating F/T mice! I want the second one!
 
Syspila(red milks) can be extremely variable, and so can the Central Plains milksnake (gentilis). When a very specific ID is needed, it helps IMMENSELY to know what area of which state they were found in. This is because of range overlap intergrade zones that can have other geneflow from other neighboring subspecies affecting their outward looking phenotype(visual look).

They both look like Red milks to me, and the entire body and head on the second one isn't totally visible either, but could easily have some gentilis influence too depending on where it was found. The bottom one is absolutely NOT a rat x milk hybrid whatsoever, it is 100% milksnake.

congrats on the excellent finds!

Pretty little ones! Did you release or are you keeping? I'd find it very hard to say good bye to such pretty little ones!
