Black Milk Snakes
Black Milk Snake
Family: Colubridae
Genus: Lampropeltis
Species: Micropholis
SubSpecies: Gaigeae
Temperament / Characteristics
Hatchling black milk snakes are between 12 and 16 inches in length. They are red, black, and white or yellow as hatchlings. When they are between 6 and 10 months of age, the black milk snakes will begin to change colors, and start to turn black as they grow to adulthood. Adult black milk snakes average between 48 and 76 inches (4 feet – 6 feet 4 inches), but some have been known to grow up to 7 feet in length.
Personal Notes
These are by far the best looking of the milk snakes and they get such a great size to them. I love giving talks at the local elementaries and the kids are always amazed when they see the hatchlings against the adults.
