Pueblan Milk Snakes

I was told and showed you can house Pueblan's together, male and female that is. Are they cannibalistic or not? The reptile store I bought my female at has 2 adults housed together with no problems, but I want to make sure before I buy a male. Mine is 2 months old, along with the male if I buy it. Both captive breed.

No, Milksnakes by nature are cannabalistic. In the wild they will prey on other snakes. I have even had a female eat a male during breeding. I do not recommend that you house to milksnakes together.

Babies, yearlings, NO. Adult breeders, YES.
I keep mine together year round, unless no breeding plans on tap. Adult females can be housed together, but keep the males separate.
