Basic Info

The moderately sized Mexican Milksnake reach up to about two feet in length. They are very attractively colored, usually with bands of black and yellow on a crimson or dark red background. The yellow bands can range in color from almost white to vibrant orange. Their smooth scales and slender body make the Mexican Milksnake a delight to both handle and observe.

Health

The Mexican Milksnake is a relatively easy milksnake, which requires basic Lampropeltis care. A 15 to 20-gallon long tank will be fine for a snake of all sizes. Temperatures are easily met with an under-tank heater placed at one side of the tank. 85 to 88 Fahrenheit should be the average temperatures on the "hot side" and the "cool side" should be kept at room temperatures. A bedding of aspen shaving or similar commercial products, should be 2-3 inches thick to allow burrowing is best. A water bowl large enough for the snake to soak in is required; clean and refill daily. Feeding is also easy. Feed an appropriate sized mouse once a week.
