Milksnake Black Health Information

Black Milksnakes should always be kept at temperatures in the low to mid 70s. Higher temperatures, like those often kept in a snake room, can result in overeating, frequent shedding, and fertility problems. They should feel cool to the touch: if they feel warm or neutral, the temperature is probably too high. They should be provided with a shallow pool of water and plenty of hiding places.

Breeding
Black Milksnakes usually breed after hibernating - in April and May. Warm temperatures will significantly alter the breeding cycle. Warmer temperatures may result in the snakes not breeding at all, retaining eggs, or producing only male offspring.

It has been reported that size, not age, is the most important factor when determining if a female is ready to lay eggs. You can breed a smaller snake, such as an 18" yearling, but she will usually become egg-bound. After breeding eggs should be incubated at 80 degrees Fahrenheit. After birth hatchlings should be kept between 76 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit. This is good for the first year or so. Obesity is usually not a problem for the first two years, and the animals are best brumated much like any other milk or king, once they reach at least 4 feet in length.
