I am planning on getting a milk snake at the next reptile expo, thanks for the tips.

You asked about substrates.. For a cage with limited ventilation, aspen is usually good. Such as in a tub/rack. For a glass cage with a screen top, then I will agree with you that forest floor or similar soil-type substrate is appropriate. It all comes down to the snake not losing too much moisture from its skin to the air. Ambient humidity obviously matters to what you eventually do. These animals do not need high humidity at all, but in the wild they live in burrows where humidity is in the 50-60% range and is quite stable, and they emerge mostly only when conditions above ground are suitable, which can often mean dusk and evening. That is how they conserve moisture. They do not have constant access to standing water in the wild, probably very rarely. They don't need it often at all. In captivity we provide it because conditions may not be perfect, so better safe than sorry.

Good video king, new milk snake owner here, first time snake owner as well so wish me luck

Thanks for this video Josue! I have the same day/night heating set up for my milk snake and it gave me some peace of mind that she’ll be comfortable. Also I use aspen bedding only because it’s really humid during the summertime here in SoCal ☹️ once it’s really cold and dry in the wintertime I’ll probably get my hands on some forest floor bedding! Thanks again man, great video! 👍🏼

Planning on getting a Nelson’s milk snake as a Christmas gift ( to myself ) this video was quite helpful!!!

Watched a couple of your videos and they were great! Your channel is very underrated, keep up the great work and it will continue to pay off!

I like this channel because he gets to the point and explains why he prefers what he prefers. I definitely need to switch to the substrate he uses because my milk snake loves being sprayed down and I’ve always worried about getting mold in her tank. Does anyone have a link to where I can get the substrates?

Beautiful Milk Snake! Great work on the video man! Road to 1k💪

Great video! Peter looks super cool love the red and black coloration.

Your milk snake is so cool, thanks for the info

Thank you so much for this video I’m planning on getting my first Milk Snake 🐍 next year

quality content - thanks for sharing! Nice back ground music too!

Inert potting soil is not a good substrate either. I'm going to get some of that recommended, he was burying at first and I noticed a issue with the lid as well.

Thanks, lots of great info. Looking forward to more videos

Loving the videos bro. Hey, in my next upload im going to give you a shout out and send some of my reptile fan base your way man. Hopefully we can help each other out. Keep it up man.

Great advice

Tropical fish *wish* they could look this good!

Got to be honest I've been frustrated at times with my milk snake I bought about 2 years ago almost, she's gotten better but for quite a while she was musking on me every time I'd go to pick her up. She's settled down but the musking is still happening, does it ever stop?

Great content per usual

What kind of heating system do you have for your milk snake?

Beechchip keeps humidity up perfect for my millsnake she always been onit before i owned her

I use aspen because I use a humidity box

Thankyou! This is really helpful! ( Also Peter is SO CUTE!!! )

This is great info thank you! How do you know when the snake isn’t hungry? How long do you leave the live or frozen in the enclosure?

Thanks my guy this helped! New sub here 🐍

I love reptiles

Man trying to get my new milk snake to eat! Iv only had for two weeks but where I bought him pet supplies he was new and didn’t know last time he ate they didn’t.. he has cool enclosure cool warm hide all that! Iv tried twice and kept handling to a minimum. Iv tried him in another enclosure and left the pinkie in his enclosure over night of course frozen thawed and warmed up in hot water and bag

Thank you very good info

Great video!

I just got one thanks man

I just got a milk snake and I bought the aspen bedding so maybe I’ll need to change it

Excellent video! I have one question. Is it okay to go ahead and house a juvenile in its full size enclosure? Or do you have to buy two different ones?

Can I sure pure eco earth/ coconut fiber as the substrate?

awesome vid

What’s the best substrate that avoids mites I still use aspen had my milksnake for 3 years should I move on from aspen to coco fibers

What background music do you use?

Hey Josue, I caught a milk snake at work last night, it's a juvenile, mabe 6" long. I save it from falling into an elevator pit. (It would've survived the fall but would've had no way out). Based on what I've found it's probably a new-ish born? Lampropeltis triangulum I'm planning on keeping it but I'm wondering if "pinky's?" will work for feeding. I live in South Dakota and am wondering if there's any other local alternatives for a juvenile. Thank you!!

Don’t milk snakes prefer light in the morning and night? Can I get away with belly heat most times and basking in the morning / evening?

Do you need a heat mat as well or can you get by with just a heat lamp

hey can you link these items in the description ?

We just got a young milk snake about 10 days ago and haven’t seen her for about 9 days. I’m guessing she’s brumating but I’m an amateur and have no real idea. She hasn’t eaten in over two weeks. Should I leave her be or stage an intervention?

I found a milk snake in my backyard is it ok to have wild ones as pets?

omg i love him .... somebody stop me from getting a milk snake

Great video but that music was killing me my guy

Music's too loud

Sup

Where can i buy pinky mice
