Hi,
Gilby is my first ever snake. She was called Gilbert but I found out she was a girl lol
We've had her for about 4 weeks and think she's about a year old but not sure as she was dumped at a local reptile shop. She's a perfect first snake though ... She loves being handled / eats her mice and shed the first week I had her with no problems.

What's wrong with her head lol
The markings on her head make her look like she's wearing one if those skull masks haha |

No problem. It's good to know.
I don't plan on breeding though. Had enough of that with accidental puppies years ago !! |

I really have no idea about morphs either. I was just gong on what Mark had told me, and as he's bred them for over 30 years I assumed he'd know hahahaha
I'm not bothered what she is though as she's great. The best temperament and hasn't even musked / pooped on me ..... yet !! My daughter likes holding her and my wife is coming around to the idea of holding her, as long as I have the head end lol
She likes to hide in my pocket ....
and to investigate once warmed up lol

I have no idea about milk snake morphs, but she is gorgeous, can't believe someone would dump her!! Congrats on such a lovely first snake, and it sounds like she has a fab temperament too :) |

She's a Grey Banded Kingsnake x Pueblan Milksnake hybrid. Pueblans are mostly red with black and white striping, not mostly white with red and black striping.
Sorry the comparison isn't the best, I had to make something quick because I don't have either of these 2 snakes to compare so this is the best I can do.
To put a description to it.
Pueblan Milksnake - Less white/creamy grey and more red. Smaller, more regular banding and more black around the head without the white stripe across the nose.
Grey Banded Kingsnake x Pueblan Milksnake - More white/creamy grey and less red. Larger more spaced banding and less black around the head with a nose stripe in either white or a greyish colour.
Edit: There should be a bit of white behind the Pueblans head XD Hang on lol. |

..... she's getting ready to shed soon so her colours are darker than usual. |

Cracking looking snake I've always wondered bout getting one but never seen one I like so far |

Thanks
She's a traditional Pueblan which is why her white is more cream and darker overall. Most Pueblan's have bright white which is actually a morph but now accepted as the original !!
Mark at Ameyzoo (where I got her) told me that. |

Maybe a Gray Band King x Pueblan Milk hybrid? Very nice though. |

What a pretty little thing!
I love her colours... and name 
I've got a Gilbert myself lol
Are you sure she's a pueblan?
Not a king/milk expert by any means here, but she reminds me more of a theyers king... maybe even a hybrid? |
