 General Information
Milk snakes are members of the large snake family Colubridae that belongs to the genus Lampropeltis, making them a subcategory of kingsnakes (all snakes in the genus Lampropeltis are kingsnakes), and to the species triangulum which distinguishes them from other species of kingsnakes.
The current trend in herpetoculture is to refer to various milk snakes using both common and scientific names though the general use of scientific names is becoming increasingly widespread usually at the subspecific level when referring to milk snakes.
For instance "Lampropeltis"-the genus referring to kingsnakes-was derived from lampros which is Greek for shining, beautiful, and pelte from the Greek meaning small shield.

 Lampropeltis triangulum (Milk Snake): Main Page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Lampropeltis triangulum is a geographically diverse species of snake whose over 24 subspecies are found throughout the Americas.
The species is nonvenomous, and therefore not a threat to humans, although its coloration often mimics that of its poisonous cousins, the coral snakes.
I also hope that through greater general awareness of the nature of these wonderful creatures beyond their superficial beauty, a greater appreciation and respect for them may be fostered.
