Do your research, know what to expect, decide what fits you best, and more importantly make sure you can house each snakes INDIVIDUALLY.

Note: While BP are great snakes they have higher requirement than milks and kings and are less forgiven when it comes to husbandry issues.

I know it does not answer your question YOU are the only one that can answer it based on your research.

Personally I own BP, Milk and King and enjoy each of them however BP do remain my favorite!

Thanks for the replies everyone, I’v decided on breeding Nelson’s Milk snakes! Trust me im not new to snakes everyone and im doing my research. I’v had a ball python before and I agree with you GA, I think your should only have the number of snakes you have only if you can house them individually.Thanks for the replies and help.

Nelson’s are wonderful milksnakes. We love our female Albino Nelson’s (owned by my 14 year old daughter). Lovely temperment, one of the calmest of the milksnake family, a bit of a slow growing snake but well worth the wait.

Who wouldn’t love this snake.





Personally I think they would be a good choice to breed as they are very easy keepers, very lovely looking (both the normal and the albino), a good starter milksnake for most young keepers, need nothing more than a 20 long at maturity for housing and generally a hardy snake with a very good feeding response. All and all a good choice for most novice keepers who might be a large part of your customer base.
