Posted by: DMong at Sat May 19 13:12:23 2012 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by DMong ] In my opinion it is best to let hatchling and juvenile milksnakes stay well-hidden and secluded for the better part of their first year, which is basically how they are naturally "hard-wired" and just be allowed to be themselves (nervous) until they get a good bit larger. Constantly handling most young milks only seems to stress them out un-necessarily. When they start getting around a year old, they start developing enough size to where they don't feel so insanely threatened and stop biting and musking as well. Usually the biting stops first, then the musking. Milks are very different than say boas, cornsnakes, kingsnakes and many other colubrids. Just letting them grow enough first allows them to be less nervous and more tolerant of handling. [ Hide Replies ]
