Help ! I have the chance to swap one of my corn snakes fir a Milk Snake , they are the same age , size and both very friendly , neither of them ever bites .
Please advise the basic differences I would notice between the two types of snake . My mate says they are very similar but I have to decide tomorrow ss he has a buyer lined up for it .
Milks are very much like kings. Kings are great snakes, although have a reputation for being a bit feisty. A word of warning though, Kings/milks are much more addictive than corns. Have a looky on our sister site: http://www.thekingsnake.co.uk for a bit more info about them.
Milks and kings can musk a bit when they're younger of if they're not used to being handled much, it a defensive thing very much like the rattling of the tail that some will do to scare you off as well.
As for the milk not being a biter in the future, I'm afraid it's impossible to say really. They're still an instinctive animal, only tolerant of human handling as opposed to tame. So it can't be said with any honesty. However if it's been handled regularly then I'd say there's a much less chance of it being a biter. It's still a snake after all.
Milk Snake information please , Urgent !
