I'm not a reptile specialist, but from what I heard Milk snakes and Ball Pythons should not be recommenced for first time users of pet snakes, because they don't like to be handled or played with alot. Especially after their shedding of skin and feeding. They also are very quick to strike if feeling scared.
The snake I'm looking into getting is a Corn Snake excellent beginner snake, very docile and loves interacting with not only humans but other snakes as well.
I work with snakes every day . Young corn snakes are usually the hardest to deal with. They are the first to snap and some never really calm down. In most cases they're docile when they're older, but they really aren't unique or entertaining. Milk snakes are more fun to handle, ball pythons are much more docile and are extremely tolerant of handling.
Please don't try to handle your corn after feeding or during shedding time. No snake enjoys this.
Lol mine was so easy to handle when i picked him up he moved alot but if they dont something is ussaully worng with it but again i think the best way to learn how to handle something is best done first hand but good vid
I'm waiting for the day when I can get my own Honduran milk snake. I have done my research thoroughly, but I currently have too many pets and must wait to get one. I am in no hurry though, for I love my animals so, and wish long, happy lives on all of them.
@101020sarah Milk snakes are not venomous, however (depending on who you talk to), milk snakes have a reputation for biting/musking. Milk snakes imitate the highly venomous coral snake, and need an attitude to back the bluff. I've heard stories from both sides of the coin. Some say they're a handful of a pet, and some say they can be docile and tame. Also, temperament has a lot to do with how they're raised and handled.
@101020sarah To avoid a serious biting problem, handle your snake with care and reverence. Don't freak him out with a high level of activity or sudden movements. Also, it is of the utmost importance that you feed your herp in a separate container from it's natural enclosure and make sure the food doesn't come directly from your hands. Using feeding tongs or placing the prey in before the snake can ensure your herp doesn't associate home and hand with food.
@101020sarah It should also be noted that pre killed prey is a lot less dangerous for your herp than live prey, though not as stimulating. Prey items are a choice of the owner, but one that should be considered carefully. If you do choose to feed your herp live prey, you should be prepared for a case of rodent attack; have a good vet handy. If you choose pre killed prey, make sure it is warm, and if you wish, you may lightly dip it in chicken broth to make it more appealing to a finicky herp.
I was just checking up alot of mikl snake videos because im getting a Milk Snake he is big ive seen him but i had many sankes before but i wanted to see how milk sakes are =)
I actually just sold him sorry. I can't make a video, but all I did was place a frozen thawed small adult mouse in his cage and he would go up to it and eat it. In the morning it would be gone.

Usually milks are more flighty and outgoing then other snakes. But from time to time you will get the ones that have no problem being handled.
