Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Ok, so I finally added a black milk that i purchase this weekend at the reptile show from Cherrville. I can't seem to find any indepth information on them. I know they don't need suplemental heat (I know not to have them in 50 degree temps!
, don't feed them large meals but that is about it. Here are my questions:

1. What is the best substrate for them ( my kings are on aspen)?

2. Since they come from mountaineous areas, should I keep an elevated humidity?

3. Since they don't require raised temps, should I avoid heavy feeding?

4. What would a natural setup look like for Black Milks?

5. Any literature you can recommend for me to read would be awesome!!!!

Thanks in advance and sorry if the post is a bit long.

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. I did stumble upon that website a day or so ago. What I am looking for is information specific to Black Milksnakes. I really want to set him up in a more natural enclosure close to what he would have in the wild.

Thanks, I think I must have found every site available! :-0 I just decided to wing it. So I purhased some Jungle Substrate to raise the humidity just a bit. Also added some fake foliage and a water dish, looks really nice. He ate two pinkies and burried himself under the substrate. Thanks again for the reply/ies to my post.
