Your Questions Answered
Is this snake a good choice for a beginner?
This snake is suitable for an intermediate keeper or a dedicated beginner who has done their research. Nelson’s Milk Snakes are generally hardy and docile, but all reptiles require specific husbandry. Ensure you have the proper enclosure, heating, and feeding schedule established before purchase.
What is its current feeding schedule?
This male is consistently taking one appropriately sized frozen/thawed pinky mouse every 5-7 days. We recommend maintaining this schedule, adjusting prey size as the snake grows. Always feed in a separate enclosure to avoid substrate ingestion and reduce food-aggression behavior.
How do I set up its enclosure?
Provide a secure 10-20 gallon enclosure with a locking lid. Use aspen shavings or similar substrate. Include a warm hide (85°F) and a cool hide (75°F), a small water dish for soaking and drinking, and some clutter like fake plants for security. A low-wattage under-tank heater on a thermostat is recommended for heat.
