Use a sturdy bowl that won't get knocked over. Change the water and clean the bowl with soap and hot water at least once a day. If your snake goes to the bathroom in the water, change it as soon as possible. Unless the humidity levels are too low, keep the water on the cool side of the tank. As a rule of thumb, feed your snake mice that are no larger than 1 times the widest point of its body. Choose frozen feeder mice instead of live prey, which could injure your snake. Thaw a feeder mouse completely before giving it to your snake, and wash your hands thoroughly after feeding your pet. A pinkie feeder mouse is the right size for a hatchling milk snake. As it gets older, switch to juvenile mice, then feed your fully grown milk snake adult mice. If your snake is under a year old, feed it every 5 to 6 days. Once it's an adult, feed it every 10 to 14 days. To feed your snake, place a wide food dish in the tank, grasp a thawed mouse with a pair of tongs, and set the mouse on the dish. If you breed your snake, feed it twice a week to ensure healthy egg production. Since milk snakes are nocturnal, feeding it at night and covering the cage could encourage it to eat. Thawing the feeder mouse for an additional 30 minutes, or until it's warmer than room temperature, could also do the trick. If you suspect your snake is bored with its food, try switching to feeder chicks. You could also try wiggling the mouse or chick with a pair of tongs to get your snake's attention. Use a long pair of tongs and keep your hands as far away from the mouse as possible to avoid getting accidentally bit. Stressed snakes don't eat, so make sure the temperature, humidity, and other conditions in the tank are within recommended ranges. If everything checks out and your snake still won't eat, schedule an appointment with an exotic animal vet.
