Black Milk

Martyh2133 Oct 12, 2003 08:00 PM

I am looking for a good place to get an adult pair of black milk snakes. It has been hard finding anyone with them, for that matter even babies. I have searched the classifieds with to not much success. Any point in the direction of someone that breeds them would be great. Thank you for your time Marty Hartman

You can occasionally find a stray adult male for sale, but I think you will have to be very lucky to find an adult pair. These are great snakes, and everyone I know who has them loves them and wouldn't consider getting rid of the adults.

You can find yearlings, but you rarely see older snakes.

You can find black milksnakes at Hartford, VPI, and Isis Reptiles. All three of these breeders can be found on the breeders page of kingsnake.com.

Black milks are a great investment. I recommend that you buy as babies and not adults. This would allow you to watch the cool color transformation that they go through to become adults. Since these snakes are so cool and not that common. It would cost you a lung, kidney, and your first born to acquire .

I purchased mine from hartford and they are some of my favorite snakes. They have a friendly disposition and eat everytime I put food in their cage.

Happy hunting: Jason

Steve Emmerick of Napa Valley Snakes breeds them. He has babies I know for sure. They are great snakes you will love them. I would get them as babys, you will enjoy them better.

I know on www.[bleep] there is an adult male for auction right now.
