Eastern milksnake

I have a new addition, her name is Scarlet. She has eaten mice for me and shed last night so I have decided to keep her.

Re: Eastern milksnake

Is she wild caught by you?
Also, was wondering if there are eastern kingsnakes upstate?

Heres an over head view of her set up, and one from the side. Her tank is above my garter snakes and their heat lamp warms a small area of her cage to 85 surface temp, the rest is around 73.

Yes she is wild caught, I don't think there are eastern kingsnakes up here.

Re: Eastern milksnake

if it's eating, you already crossed the hardest part.

Re: Eastern milksnake

I know, when she ate I was sooo happy I never even consider keeping an animal that wont eat for me, and she ate right of the bat without being here more than a few days.

Nah I didn't probe her or anything, I just decided she is a she. And thanks for the congrats guys she's a cute little thing. Likes to burrow but I also see her moving around sometimes.

Re: Eastern milksnake

Eastern Milk Snakes are illegal to keep in NY regardless if they are wild caught or not. To have one legally, you must have a DEC Collect and Possess License. You should turn it loose where you found it. Also if your Garter Snakes are Easterns, they also are illegal to keep in NY.
