Re: To keep or not to keep, a milk snake I found in my backyard.

Nothing wrong with keeping it for a few hours just to look at it though
Where did you hear these myths?
I have a w/c snake that was captured as an adult in 1983 and is over 30 years old.
I also have 6 or so other w/c snakes that are thriving and breeding.

How do you think this hobby got started?
