. Montana amphibian and reptile status assessment, literature review, and conservation plan. Amphibians; Reptiles; Indicators (Biology); Habitat (Ecology); Wildlife conservation. Milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum) Up-to-date distribution and status information can be found on the Montana Natural Heritage Program's TRACKER website at Distribution/Taxonomy Milksnakes are distributed widely throughout the eastern and central United States west to the Rocky Mountains. Eastern Montana marks the northern limit for this species in the west and there are also pockets of milksnakes in Utah, eastern Wyoming, eastern Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico (Stebbins 2003, Werner et al. 2004). There are 25 subspecies of milksnake in North America with the pale milksnake (L. t. multistriata) being the only subspecies found in Montana. Pale milksnakes are also found in parts of Wyoming, South Dakota, and Nebraska. Milksnakes have been documented in 10 counties in eastern Montana and there are unconfirmed records in 4 additional counties in central Montana. Maximum Elevation Record 1257 m (4,124 ft) in Carbon County (Laurie Vitt, pers. com., MTNHP 2007). Identification Eggs: Oval, white, slightly granular, and sticky. Length 36 mm ( in.) and width 14 mm ( in.). Individual weight for each egg is approximately 2-4 g. Clutch size ranges from 4-13 and is positively correlated with female body size (Fitch and Fleet 1970, Groves and Sachs 1973, Degenhardt et al. 1996, Hammerson 1999, Werner et al. 2004). Young: Similar coloration pattern to adults but total length is just 16-29 cm ( in.) (Hammerson 1999, Werner etal. 2004). 484.
