Your milk snake is probably a year or 2 years old. They will eat other snakes, as well as lizards, small mammals, and just about anything else they can overpower and eat. As a pet, I would get it eating frozen thawed mice of appropriate size. I would not say that they love to swim, however they do need a supply of water at all times. Depending on the subspecies, it will probably grow from 2 to 3 feet in length. Hope that helps.

All snakes can swim. They're not really hardcore about it though. Milks only swim when they need to(like say a flood).

and we need to know what kind of milk snake to estimate a size. Like Viejo said, it'll probably be around 2-3 feet though. some, like hondurans, reach lengths of 4-6 feet

No, they probably will be happy to eat their own species too.

It helps to know what kind of milk snake you are talking about...there are many different species that occur over a large range with different reqirements. In the future, it's best to find out about the animal before you get it.

Good luck with your new snake.

 

[Mr Scorpion]

Thanks all, im not too sure what species it is thats why i got it, maybe you guys can help me. like all milk snakes (well most) it has red bands about this long each ---> [........] and black bands about this big each--> [...] and orange bands (which is quite unusual) that are dead orange by the spine but starts turning white by the sides of the snake and they are this long each [.....]




It looks close to the mexican milk snake but they cant be the same
