I was thinking about getting a pueblan milk because they dont get too big and dont need a big tank and I was wondering if I could use eco-earth for them?Also, are ther any other milk snakes smaller than a pueblan readily availbible in captivity?

That would be the Mexican milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum annulata). There are several milksnake subspecies under 3 feet, but most of them are rare on the market.

Eco earth isn’t a good substrate for milk snakes since they don’t need high humidity. Stick with aspen shavings.

I agree with Repfanatic, I have a pueblan and I keep him on aspen shavings and it keeps perfect humidity, so you dont need a bedding like eco-earth that has high humudity.
