L triangulum is better known to locals as the milk snake. These medium-sized snakes can be found in the central and southernUnited States. Milk snakes are commonly encountered in agricultural areas, where they prowl barns for heat and mice. Early farmers believed that these snakes stole milk from cows at night, earning them the name "milk snake". Red was purchased from A-aron's Snakes in 2025.
