If I only had one milk snake or 8 even I would invest in the small/medium 24" neodesha cages, these are really nice cages. Some snakes don't like the sun all that much, you need to remember to never have the cage where sun can hit it and cook the snake. Some snakes do enjoy basking in the sun, but a lot of milk snakes don't, if you do let the snake go out for play time make sure you watch for hawks. Milk snakes like to feel secure and like tight hide places, Ive seen some peoples mexican and south american milks seem to enjoy fake vegetation like vines as well. That and feed them about once a week have heat on the side opposite of the water dish, clean the cage often, two hide areas, and you learn a lot as you go.

He could and should also read some books on the subject

good luck and if you have questions along the way everyone here is pretty knowledgeable and always ready to help.

Later
