Sup? I don't have a hot side for my black milk. They like it cool. He gets room temperature which is now around 73.if it's real cold at night I do turn on a 60 watt infrared light that keeps one end of his huge 10g tank around 80 degrees. I keep my other two kings and corn's hot side around 85 and cool side low 70's.

thanks!! i specifically asked for a male

im not sure what the milk snake is. the shop where i got it from was going to pop him/her and i told them not to worry about it. do female milk/king get larger then males?

All I know is male Black Milks get larger than females. Not sure on other kings.

I think it depends on what kind of milk/king it is. (Honduran, Mexican, pueblan, etc.)

here is my mexican black king

hopefully the spots go away as she gets older and it looks like she rubbed her nose trying to get out while she was shipped. the male i originally wanted did not work out but regardless im happy. she is definitely more docile than my milk snake

you can definitely see the spots more with the camera's flash but i love how the blue shines with the flash aswell
