Nelson’s Milk Snake Overview
Each nelson’s milk snake is a beautiful and friendly baby snake. Nelson’s milk snakes are a tri-color colubrid. Colubrid is a name used to describe any milk or king snake that is made of three distinct and separate bands of color. These healthy baby milk snakes are a combination of straw yellow, bright red and black colors. Baby nelson’s milk snakes are ten to twelve inches at birth and grow quickly with each meal. Adult nelson’s milk snakes get to a very reasonable size of thirty or more inches in length.
It is a good idea to keep milk snakes housed in a ten gallon terrarium at birth. Also using a small heat pad, a small hide spot and providing access to clean water is a must. Every baby nelson’s milk snake for sale in our care is fed a diet of both live and frozen pinkie mice. Milk snakes reach an adult size after twenty four to thirty months of growth. As adults they are fed a diet of rodents consisting of adult mice or baby rats.
Keeping baby or adult colubrids communally is never a good idea therefore if you plan on having more than one nelson’s milk snake, we recommend that you look into individual housing for your reptile pet. Our captive bred and born baby nelson’s milk snakes for sale are kept individually and never kept in groups. You may also be interested in our albino nelson’s milk snakes.
Housing
Nelson’s milk snakes come from a warm environment so they struggle with the cold and humidity of the UK. To insulate against both of these factors we recommend keeping the snake in a wooden vivarium. Due to the temperature gradient required we would normally select an enclosure a minimum of 3 x 2 x 2ft with large vents and glass sliding front doors.
All of this ventilation should ensure that heat and humidity is lost from one side of the enclosure to the other while keeping the basking spot itself at a consistent temperature.
Nelson’s milk snakes can be a little shy when they are young. We still use the full size enclosure to make sure that the correct temperature gradient is in place but we will provide more decorations to begin with.

Shipping was quick and done well. Our baby boa seems healthy so far! A little feisty on the first day, but to be expected after an overnight trip. Cant wait to watch her grow. 😁

Got my boa today . Very healthy and active. I know the trip had to stress her out or I thought, but I took her out of the bag and she was very active. Going to try to feed her tomorrow to keep her on schedule. All the reviews I read about Buyreptileonline .com said they were the place to buy a healthy snake and so far all is spot on . I will be a regular customer. Thank You

Such an underrated site! I got my female dwarf boa yesterday. She arrived super healthy with a cooling pack because it was pretty hot out. She came with a birth card, which I thought was cool. I definitely will purchase again from Buyreptileonline.com
