Eastern Milksnake (baby)

I have a few questions to ask:

1. How long does it take for a milksnake to reach full growth?
2. Is there a way to help my milk from being extremely skittish?
3. My milk musks in defense, but does not bite. How do I tame the musking out of him/her?
4. Can I find other ways to let it have me handle him/her?

Thanks for commenting!

Re: Eastern Milksnake (baby)

I have bred and hatched triangulums before, they will always be skittish as they are a shy species, and they are extremely slow growing snakes.

Once they reach about a year old, some will be a little more tolerant of handling than others, and by the way, nothing stinks more than when they are fully grown and a 2 foot long snake dumps a shot glass size blob of musk on you.

+1 I keep these also and they always seem to be skittish, but reluctant to bite.

Re: Eastern Milksnake (baby)

Did you buy her or catch her? I used to catch these sometimes when i was young, and I could very rarely get them to eat. Wish I could still find them, I havent seen any for years.
