Your Questions Answered
Is this a good snake for a beginner?
While hardy, milk snakes can be initially nervous and fast-moving. We recommend them for keepers with some basic reptile husbandry experience. Their care is straightforward, but their temperament is better suited to an intermediate handler.
What setup do you recommend?
A secure 10-gallon tank is sufficient for this juvenile. Provide a hide on both the warm and cool end, a shallow water dish, and aspen or similar substrate for burrowing. Maintain an ambient temperature of 75-80°F with a basking spot of 85-88°F.
