Meet Tomayto, a striking Pueblan milk snake with bold red, black, and cream banding that makes this species one of the most recognizable (and beautiful) colubrids in the reptile world.

Tomayto is feeding perfectly and doing well in care. Like many milk snakes, he’s a bit quick and flighty during handling, but settles with calm, confident interaction. With patience and consistency, many individuals like Tomayto become excellent display animals and manageable companions for keepers with some snake experience.

About Tomayto:

• Species: Pueblan milk snake (Lampropeltis triangulum campbelli)

• Feeding: Reliable feeder

• Temperament: Alert and active; slightly flighty when handled

• Size: Manageable adult colubrid species

• Care level: Beginner, intermediate (best with confident handlers)

Pueblan milk snakes are hardy, colorful, and rewarding animals that thrive with proper enclosure setup, secure hides, and consistent husbandry. They’re also a great introduction to keeping active North American type colubrids

 Mature ~6-year-old African bullfrog (Pixie frog) available for adoption.

This individual is established, feeding reliably, and already at a stable adult size, making them an excellent option for someone who prefers to skip the rapid-growth stage and work with a settled adult amphibian.

Adult Pixie frogs are:

• hardy when maintained properly

• highly food-motivated

• impressive display animals

• best suited for keepers comfortable reading amphibian behavior

At this age, this frog represents a known quantity in terms of temperament, appetite, and care needs, which can make placement easier for the right adopter.

As always, Hudson Valley Reptile & Rescue prioritizes education, preparation, and long-term commitment when placing animals like this.

We currently have a younger African bullfrog (Pixie frog) available for adoption through Hudson Valley Reptile & Rescue.

This individual is alert, feeding well, and adjusting nicely to captive care. Young Pixie frogs are fascinating amphibians that grow into large, confident animals with bold personalities and impressive feeding responses. Watching them develop over time is part of what makes keeping this species so rewarding.

That said, Pixie frogs are not beginner amphibians. They require:

• appropriately sized enclosures as they grow

• clean water access and humidity balance

• a varied insect and rodent-based diet over time

• keepers comfortable working with a powerful feeding response

This frog would be a great match for someone interested in long-term amphibian stewardship and prepared for the responsibilities that come with a large terrestrial frog.
