Hey! I just found your channel, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!! Your videos are super informative and a joy to watch. I was wondering, do you have any sources for a care sheet of Black Milk snakes? Ive only found one specifically, and I want to be fully informed before I decide if its something I can commit to.
Thanks for you videos on Milks! I know they're technically Kingsnakes, which I've had before, but I think I want to get a Milk next! Probably a Black if I can find one! Because they're stunning 🥹
I hope you can answer my question. I got a milk snake that was given to my daughter. It is 27 years old she was told. Right not it’s substrate is pine pellet bedding like a tractor supply for horses. I was wondering If changing it this late in life would stress him to much. He eats every week no issues. We had him about 6 months now. I did put in one corner of his enclosure reptichip a couple days ago and he seems to stay away from it. Should I just stick with the pine pellet or slowly switch him over and ad more each week? I just want the best for him. Thanks in advance.
Theoretically it would be fine to switch. That being said if it’s on shavings and there aren’t any issues with feeding or shedding you don’t have to change anything
@@voodoo1876 I’ve never liked them but I’ve never heard anything negative when they are tried so probably. As long as there isn’t cedar or redwood in the mix
@@JzsReptiles thanks for the info. I just switched him all over to reptichip. He’s in blue now and I will see if this helps for a better shed cause now I can get humidity up more. Thanks again. I really appreciate it.
Great video! Love seeing milks get some love. However some of the info is not accurate. Such as the history on South Americans, the range for polyzona... there is L. t. polyzona and L. polyzona because of a proposed taxonomic update, and Yucatan's being small.
I knew of the possible taxonomy changes but when that happens I try to get as many papers on them as I can. There isn’t a terrible lot of them and many have conflicting opinions on “currently recognized” subspecies which also makes a wild ranges more tricky when one well regarded source probably groups 2 or 3 subspecies as 1. Another is extremely vague and other info is from private keepers which could be unknowingly repeating bad info. I don’t like to add to that so I usually try to do a good job of saying that but I know I slip up, and as far as the yucatans go, everything I found had them not exceeding 4 feet but as I don’t personally keep them and most info on them is from 2 keepers I know of a repeated Wikipedia article across multiple pages I used the options of the keepers
