Maybe because they get a little thick? IDK. I recommended the carpet python

Re: Do I want a Milk Snake?
Probably didn't include an SD because it's the OP's first snake and that would be a handful of a beginner.

Re: Do I want a Milk Snake?
Those pics from Alessia55 have utterly SOLD me. What a gorgeous specimen.
Ive got a few days away from the computer coming up so I apologize for my lack of postings.
Cant thank you all enough for the advise and look forward to posting a pic of the enclosure - my sister builds them for fun so I have a feeling that is covered, she is pretty much an animal activist and a vet nurse so I have no worries about making my Corn a home he/she will simply ADORE!
yippee!

every snake, like every human, has a different personality.

Re: Do I want a Milk Snake?
If you weren't going to go with a corn snake, which is a very solid idea, I would have said sinoloan milksnake if you were still interested in milks.

Re: Do I want a Milk Snake?
swalters and myself just got our first milksnake, it is a mexican milk snake and we love it. Although we did get to handle some of their adults and the colors seem to get a little bit duller as they get older. All of their adults were very docile.
I would suggest a corn or ratsnake as a first snake as well because they are super easy to take care of. I think milksnakes are easy too since they are both in the colubrid families. Corns are very prolific, cheap, and super colorful. They are also great eaters, our 2005 male okeetee has never refused a meal.

Re: Do I want a Milk Snake?
Sarah the Albino Corn Snake has arrived.
Sarah-at-home_02-2011-11-17 - My Photo Gallery
We went to the Reptile Expo in White Plains New York, saw more snakes than I have ever seen ever (and my sister was losing her mind at some of the prices and variations - Soooo much cheaper over here!!) and now we have her. She has a proper enclosure and all the accoutrements she could ever need.
I just fed her for a second time (pinkies, averaging once every 5 days - although she seems to want more) as per recommendations.
