(Lampropeltis triangulum hondurensis) Milk snakes are a great beginner reptile for anyone looking for a smaller species of snake to start keeping. Adults only grow up to 2 feet in length and stay quite slender, opposed to ball pythons which can grow quite long and thick. Milk snakes require a heat gradient of up to 88F on the hot side and no colder than 76F on the cooler side. This should be met with a heat mat, and additional overhead heat bulbs if necessary. Humidity levels should be kept in the range of 40-60%, higher during the times of shedding. The enclosure should have enough room for the snake to fully extend its entire body the length of the enclosure easily. If you would like to know more about this snake or any other reptile, you can call or email the store for more information.
