Hi there

I'm new to snake ownership. My family have had snakes since I was young (Cali king's, Ball pythons, Burmese Python and corns) but I recently bought a Apricot pueblan milk snake as my first snake that i'm 100% responsible for! She's 7 months old and a real sweetie. However, I want everything to be perfect for her and I just have a question about feeding.
She's currently on pinkies, and I was wondering if that was enough of a suitable diet for her or do milksnakes need any extra vitamins along with their mice?

Thanks in advance!

Comparatively few snakes require supplements, varied, or specialized diets - milks are not one of these. You're fine feeding appropriately sized rodents for her entire life. Congrats on your new pet and welcome to the the forum!

Mice themselves should be just fine. Welcome and post pics of your little one

I will touch on one thing here, is the feeding, one of the main issues with a lot of new owner is that they do not realize that those snakes have a very fast metabolism and therefore do not feed them enough when young.

Hatchling colubrid do better when fed every 3 to 5 days a prey size that is 1 to 1.5 equal their girth size.

7 months and still on pinkies is a bit on the small side.
