They are letting me get a snake, and i put this under the Lampropeltis forum because im getting a baby pueblan milk snake. i have looked at a bunch of videos from expert village on how to take care of pueblan milk snake here is the link if any of you wanna check it out and make sure its telling me the right info.

Information on the Pueblan Milk Snake | Expert Village Videos

this is a 15 video series all of the videos are on the bottom of the video player you cant miss them

And since im getting a baby would it be okay to put him/her in a ten galleon until she/he gets bigger?
And Aaron better on punctuation? lol as mark would say.

Much better. Thank you.

A 10 gallon is certainly adequate for a baby milksnake. It should hold the snake for some time as well. Just ensure all the right things are met and it'll do fine in there.

Oh, Chase, this is great! I had a pueblan milk snake, apricot morph, for two + years--it belonged to a friend of one of my kids. The other kid had to go on a mission trip when he graduated from high school and his mother wouldn't have anything to do with his snake, so I got to snake sit.

It was about 18" long when we got it and in a 20-gallon aquarium. Over the two-year period, it grew to 3 feet and we moved it into a 55-gallon aquarium, but it wouldn't have really needed that big an aquarium; it's just what we had a spare of.

It only ever bit me once, and that was my fault--it was hungry and someone wanted to touch it, and when I picked it up, it struck my knuckle, immediately let go, and looked at me like, "That wasn't the right food!" Of course, I'm anthromorphizing, but it was really funny, especially as I had just told the guy for whom I was taking it out, "No, he doesn't bite!" Serves me right!

Very beautiful animal, and I've been thinking of getting another . . .

What a great Christmas present, Chase! Tell your parents they're on my "Cool Parent" list!
