The right basking UVI for a milksnake is 1.0-2.0. Why do you need to pay attention to the distance between your snake and the basking platform/branch? It’s because UVB strength decreases with distance from the bulb, so measuring distance is important to get the right exposure. We recommend installing one of the following UVB bulbs at the listed distance: And there is mounting scientific evidence that UVB is, in fact, beneficial to milksnakes and other species. Our goal as good reptile keepers is not to simply allow our pets to survive - it is to do everything in our power to enable them to thrive. Although they are capable of surviving without UVB lighting, it’s best practice to include it as part of the snake’s setup so it can still reap the benefits. Honduran milksnakes are diurnal (active during the day), so it’s particularly beneficial to provide plenty of light during the daytime to help support their mental health. NOTE: Because milksnakes are snake-eaters, multiple milksnakes should not be housed in the same enclosure. When it comes to choosing a terrarium for pet reptiles, keep in mind that larger is always better! Honduran milksnakes need enough room to fully stretch out and explore, which means that the minimum enclosure size recommended for housing one adult Honduran milksnake is 48” L x 24” W x 24” H, but larger is recommended if you have the space for it!

Honduran milksnakes are some of the most popular pet snakes in the US due to their docile temperaments, hardiness, and attractive coloring. Like other snakes, Honduran milksnakes are carnivorous, and they use this time to hunt down other snakes, lizards, eggs, and small birds and mammals. These snakes are diurnal, which means that they are primarily active during the day. However, due to selective breeding in captivity, other colors and patterns are also available. The head is black with a thick yellow-white band behind the eyes and another one encircling the snout, giving the snake something of a mustache appearance. The wild type has a bright red base color with narrow bands of yellow-white sandwiched between thicker bands of black. Honduran milksnakes are known for their distinctive, attractive appearance: oval head, round pupils, slender body, and smooth, glossy scales. Their preferred habitat is moist broadleaf forest, also known as tropical rainforest. Honduran milksnakes are terrestrial snakes found primarily on the Caribbean half of Honduras, Nicaragua, and a little bit of Costa Rica. Honduran Milksnake ( Lampropeltis triangulum hondurensis)
