Colubridman,I supplement my "milk"snakes with 2% milkfat organic milk and they lap it up after devouring the rats that I feed them after shoving 3 or 4 pure calcium vitamins in their mouths.Sure my milks have some weird spinal growths but the eggs they lay can't be broken with a 5 pound sledge hammer!!!!
So,I don't think extra calcium is detrimental to MILKsnakes.


P.S. Why do you think they are called "milk" snakes anyhows????
