Ive got a few snakes in shoebox bins.I am concerned about our black milksnake because he seems so uptight.Constantly moving about the bin trying to get out and just way more active then the rest of the snakes(corns,rats and a kingsnake)..Is this normal? Ive never had a milksnake of any kind so dont know what is normal or not.

The rest of the snakes are typical, moving around occasionally, moving from the back(warmside) to the front.Mpre active right before feeding day etc..



Warm end 85-90(85 on top of papertowel and in hide.Under papertowel on the plastic its 90), cool end 75ish..Water, papertowel substrate, hide on each end..Pink mouse every 5-7 days.

Maybe he needs to eat more? Are the temps about right?
