The tradeoffs, honestly

Young Sinaloans are fast and nervous and may musk or nip. Like all milk snakes, it must be housed alone.

Common questions

How does it differ from other milk snakes?

Its red bands are especially wide compared with the black and white rings. Care is much the same as other lowland milk snakes.

Does it calm down?

Most do with regular, short handling. Expect a flighty hatchling and give it time.

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.
