Looking after a Milk Snake is like looking after the popular Corn snake.You will need to change their water every day. They need to be fed once a week-no more than 2 even when young and growing. The most popular form of food is the pinkie mouse. You can purchase these from your local reptile deeler. The size of the mouse determains on the size of your milk snake. Keep the mice in a freezer and leave to defrost for at least an hour befor feeding. Never put mice in warm water for a few minutes then feed, many people suggest this but it can be harmful as it may give them food posioning. It might be quicker but it isn't worth the risk. Their vivarium needs to be cleaned out once a month. The milk snake will be at risk of a skin disorder if it is left to late. The size of the vivarium depends on the size of the snake. (TIP. ask your local reptile deeler) But remember, if the cage is to big, your snake will get stressed and will stop eating. In the vivarium,place at least 2 hide outs and make sure there is a heat mat under the cage.
