Question for all who have milksnakes

[Jim Smith]

Chasing her around will most certainly stress her out. If you have to remove her from her cage, then lift the hide and gently engulf her in your hand. To feed her, try leaving a small live pinkie outside the hide she's in and leaving her alone to eat it when she wants to. She will calm down after she gets more comfortable that you're not a predator trying to catch and eat her. Just my two cents worth...
