Milksnake Central plains Health Information

Breeding
In the spring, after warming up, milksnakes mate while still in their hibernation groups. The female lays a clutch that contains between 2 and 17 eggs, often in rotting logs. The eggs are elliptical in shape. The eggs hatch after between six and nine week of incubation. The hatchlings average around eight inches in length and are very brightly colored. The milksnake is usually mature at around three or four years of age.
