Milkshake is a red milksnake. He came to me from a family that was not able to take good care of him. That family had given the responsibility to take care of him to the kids. Unfortunately, kids being kids, after a while they easily lost interest in feeding, cleaning or interacting with Milkshake. The mom had given the kids an ultimatum of 2 months. Unfortunately, the kids did not take better care of Milkshake. Also, he was kept in a 10 gallon tank. When I adopted Milkshake I promised the previous owner that I would keep his name unchanged.

Now Milkshake is living happily in a large enclosure as I upgraded him to a larger planted enclosure. Milkshake is a very nice snake, usually calm and docile. He was only a little tiny snake when he came to us. Right now, he is about 5 ft long. I hope Milkshake lives a long long life. He is a great beginner pet and I love him. I love his personality and the way that he never bites. He is also a beautiful, colorful snake and a wonderful specimen to own.
