Reptile & Amphibian Forums

A recent post on the Milk Snake forum stated:

"They are always active in the cage - on the branches, always present".

I'm a Sojourner on the road seeking the Ideal snake that is active and amiable. I love Kings & Milks, but they can spend so much time hiding unless you handle them to encourage motion.

Are Trinket Snakes a possible solution for me? I've had a Black Rat snake in the past, but she was quite shy (and somewhat neurotic from having been kept in a undersized enclosure).

Do they tend to be MUCH more active, consistently, than Kings & Milks?

I'm not finding much about them in a general Google search. Any suggested URL to get more info about Trinkets, and specifically, about BEHAVIOR??

1.0 Lampropeltis getula californiae (Carlsbad wide-banded morph)
1.0 Lampropeltis triangulum gaigeae

I've found them to be a little on the shy side but not to the extreme of some other asian ratsnakes or milksnakes. I actually have some older milks that are out of their hides, cruising around their cages, watching when I come into the room (hoping for a snack).
