A cunning and iconic pet
Milk and King snakes are popular pets thanks to their long length and a wide variety of colourings. We have a huge range of Milk and King snakes at Swell Reptiles, including some of the most vibrant species like the Nuevo Leon King Snake.
What are Milk and King snakes?
The term ‘King snake’ refers to a group of colubrid snakes that prey upon other snakes as a part of their diet. Of the King snakes, Milk snakes are the most popular variety. King snakes kill their prey via constriction and so are non-venomous and pose little danger to humans. Most King snakes come from North and Central America, meaning that they tend to like high and dry heat, making them quite easy to care for.
Why should I buy Milk and King snakes?
All King snakes make great pets thanks to their striking appearance and easy to meet husbandry requirements. Although they are known to be a little flighty, most King snakes are easy to tame with a little work. King snakes shouldn’t be kept with other snakes due to their cannibalistic nature. Keeping King snakes is fairly inexpensive once you get the initial set-up cost out of the way.
What are the main types of Milk and King snakes?
There are quite a few species and subspecies of King snakes, coming in almost as many colours and patterns as Corn snakes. We often have a wide selection of King snakes at Swell Reptiles, however, different species come in and out of the store depending on availability, meaning that the only way to know what we have is to check this page. We also have a wide variety of reptiles for sale at Swell Reptiles such as Bearded dragons, Pacman frogs, Peacock day geckos and much more.
