Black Milksnake Questions

Such awesome snakes....my male went from a 16 inch baby in Jan 2008 when I got him to around 5 and a half feet long jet black now...hes in a 33 x 26 x 6 tub in my rack and he honestly has plenty of room and can stretch out fine...Never had a problem with him eating or shedding, and he usually stays around 76-80 (no heating at all unless room is under 65)...easiest snake I've owned.

Maybe I should do that, I have a tendency to only get one and then procrastinate to no end on getting a second.

Hey, remember I'm het for blonde leave me alone. :D

mine is the most active of all my other snakes. he comes out everyday and climbs his branch and enjoys a cool sip of water daily lol. the only feeding tendency he has is like his f/t fuzzy to move, so i use some feeding tongs and toy with him until he lunges and wraps. never musked, but a little jumpy, he still quit young tho, cant wait until he starts turning black!
