At a glance
The tradeoffs, honestly
Hatchlings are quick and can musk or nip before they settle. It eats other snakes and must be housed alone.
Common questions
Are there Nelson's morphs?
Albino and other color forms are kept. Recessive het claims need a record of the pairing and parent photos behind them.
Can it live with another snake?
No. Milk snakes eat other snakes, so house and feed each one alone.
What health records should I ask for?
Ask for a clear fecal and a negative crypto PCR, and a feeding log showing several meals on frozen-thawed pinkies or mice. A hatch record with the parents and clutch date confirms captive breeding.
