Re: New Honduran Milk Snake
Care is a lot like the care of corn snakes or king snakes. No more than 90 on the hot side(85+/- is perfered), 40-80% humidity with it being in the higher range while in shed. Milks can be pretty active so I would say go with the biggest enclosure you can. I wouldn't go less than a 40 breeder for an adult(But I would also use big tubs). Babies can be fed every 4-5 days at the most but every 7 days is ok. Once they take 2 of one size prey, its usually ok to bump em up in size. Adult females can be fed every 1-2 weeks while adult males do fine on every 2 weeks. I hope this helps a bit. This is from my short experience working with milks

Re: New Honduran Milk Snake
That looks OK. You may even want to add some taller branches in later on if he really likes climbing

Re: New Honduran Milk Snake
When I bought the snake she was having a bad shed what should I do to help with the shed?....I keep the humidity at 60-70% to help her with the bad shed...To what percentage do you usually raise the humidity when in shed?

Re: New Honduran Milk Snake
You can go up to 80% easily but 60-70% will usually be enough. Try a soak at LUKE warm water. No more than about 80 degrees for 5-10 minutes in water that goes up about 1/2 way on the snakes side. If he still has a bad shed olive oil in luke warm water works very well but makes for a slippery noodle lol
