    Nelson's Milksnake, a little help
    at my local pet store they have a baby, probably no more than 8", Nelson's Milksnake. Im seriously considering buying this little fella but have run into a snag. when i look online i can't a lot of info specifically for nelsons'. i red they get around 4' long, and prefer a hot side temp of around 85 or so. i couldn't really find anything on humidity. If anyone who has experience with these snakes can verify my info it would be appericiated.

    Nelson's are great snakes. I have had a pair for 5 years now. I have mine in a rack with other milks and kings. Temps 85 warm side and 72 on the cool end. Humidity around 45%. Hide on warm and cool end and they do great.

    humidity should be low or respiratory problems can arise
