It depends on what species of milk snake it is.Theres the Honduran milksnake that can get 6 foot and then theres say a Pueblan that normally gets a little more than half that. So what kind
of milk were you thinking about getting?

I have a Nelson’s, it’s possible they can go to 5 feet. She’s about 3 ft (maybe more). She has kept her bright coloration (some can fade with age). She’s 3 years old and very sweet:

This is Pablo, my apricot pueblan milksnake. He’s a bit bigger now. We’ve had him for about 3 months now. I need to get a new picture of him.

There is only one species of milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum). The milksnake species is then devided into 25 subspecies.

This here is my biggest milksnake. He is a sinaloan male, 8 years old, about 64-66 inches long and weighing 3 lbs. I had him out last saturday when temps ran up to 80.6F in the shadow outside. Here are my two kids trying to control him as he tries to reach the ground.

Well, can’t resist a picture post . . . you’ve all seen this one, but I don’t have any new, so here’s the eastern milk I kept . . . very pretty, I think . . . so far he’s doing great in captivity (very curious, and pretty friendly for a wc milk). If he eats, I’ll keep him (we have snake haters in my buillding that have been stomping on the eastern milk hatchlings, I’ve found a few squashed around my apartment. I think it’s the maitenence man, and he’s re landscaping my garden this saturday, which makes me nervous). If the milk doesn’t eat in captivity, I’ll let him go of course . . .
beautiful snakes everyone!

I don’t mean to come off as sounding like a know it all... but if you have a snake in captivity and then you release it... you can expose that species to things that they wouldn’t naturally come in contact with.. so either keep what you have in captivity or stop catching them, period. you can actually wipe out total species like that.. so please if you care about the snakes in your area..don’t capture..keep in captivity for a period of time.. then release.
Thanks,
Susan

hes not making trouble, hes making a valid point!

if you release a snake that has been captive for a substancial amount of time, then when you release it you are releasing it with anything it came into contact with in captivity ( in a way ) and that can wipe out an entier area’s population of that species, and others.

I’m having trouble understanding what your post really means, but i can tell you that the pic in your post does not show a Pueblan milksnake.

if you caught something in the wild and kept it for a time and released it.all that has happened is you have put parasites into your clean environment and could hurt your snakes,the wild caught snake has parasites that helps it in the wild and has a immune system for the wild,you can’t take a domestic raised snake and put it in the wild, for some parasites can kill it and its immune system can’t help, so to me, you can reintroduce a wild back into the wild.Thats why you can’t feed your snakes, mice or rats found in the wild,your snake can’t ward out the parasites and does’t have the same immune system

Holy, such debating about catching snakes :) My goodness, I let it go two days later after observing it and taking pictures. I’m pretty sure that the milk snake population will survive. The biggest threat they have here is the maintenance man for our building stomps on them whenever he sees one. How did a nice post about snake pictures turn into lectures??
