new species on flaffy planet? basically the cows of the flaffy world; usually very docile, and can produce (drinkable) milk.

Approved

YES oml

maybe they can also have black dapples/swirls, maybe with tinted black (dark red, purple, navy blue etc.)

yes!

hi this is pufferfish but what if they made milk from their fangs???

pufferfish i agree, this is pluto

This be Vyper yeh that makes sense it would be weird for a snake to have udders ew.

agree haha - epi

What I'm getting from this is that this is like extracting venom from a venomous snake's fangs for their venom so you can use it to make antivenom but in this case you're doing it because you want something to drink so you don't die from dehydratoin. The funny thing is that the process of extracting venom from snakes is also known as "milking" so that makes it too appropriate for this situation. -Night

haha that's awesome xD yeah I guess its kinda like extracting venom - epi

Yees. We're basically drinking the snake's raw venom at this point but at least in this case the venom is just milk and therefore safe to drink. -Night

It probably needs to be processed to be absolutely 100% drinkable. Also the first person to make a milk snake rancher flaf wins a congrats XD -pluto

## Rules

**You do not need permission to make a milk snake, whether domesticated or not. However:**

* It should be noted that the offspring of domesticated and wild milk snakes are almost impossible and extremely rare. Keep this in mind if you wish to make a hybrid (you can come to a moderator for their opinions).

## Description

The base scale colour of domesticated milk snakes are generally light shades of white, mint green, or cream, with darker stripes and dapples when depicting the common (or banded) variety. Eye colours range from green and blue to yellow and brown, and duller colours are considered uncommon.

Milk snakes have long, flexible bodies largely composed on the outside of large plate-like scales. They have a line of stronger, more damage-resilient scales lining the top of the back to avert attacks from above, and a rubberlike, stretchy underbelly. Young milk snakes shed their skin every month, though full grown adults only have to about once per year. The front of the head is blunt, with a pronounced forehead and nostrils mounted high on the snout. The eyes are positioned on the sides of the head, which they can swivel around to still see forwards with (however, it should be noted that milk snakes have a "blind spot" right in front of their snouts, so it is not particularly wise or in your best intrests to put anything unfamiliar in that area).

The snakes's notable "milk fangs" are connected to the glands that excrete the milk. It is harvested similarly to how venom is extracted (squeezing the glands via the teeth), except that it is safe to handle and does not need to go through any processing. Milk snakes lack smaller sets of teeth, preferring to swallow their prey whole.

They also have a set of retractable "fake teeth" on the bottom of their jaws. It is believed by historians and biologists that these teeth were used to cut off the air supply of prey, usually small mammals such as mice and voles, though it is strange and quite remarkable that the fake teeth of the domestic milk snake has not been lost even after centuries of breeding. The fake teeth of livestock are often removed as a safety precaution, since the snake doesn't need it in any case. It does not hurt the snake in any sense, but can cause a mild infection if it is not cleansed properly.

## Diet

* Domesticated
* Undomesticated

grass (+plants and fruits)

<tabber>
red meat (small mammals) + fruit

## Culture

* Domesticated
* Undomesticated

they are ruled by flafs. it's their entire philosophy.

<tabber>
they sometimes fight to decide who controls/is the leader of their colonies.

## Species

* Domesticated
* Undomesticated

These milk snakes are the species able to produce milk. After years of breeding, their milk fangs are less sharp, and the snakes are more mild and amiable to flafs handling them.

## Abilities

* **Milk Production**

As their name suggests, milk snakes are the main-and-mass producers of milk on Flaffy Planet.

* **Good Sense of Smell**

Milk snakes are somewhat colourblind, so their hearing and sense of smell have improved to compensate.

## Trivia

* Milk snakes can technically be classified as egg-laying mammals, as they produce milk for their young. However, milk snakes are not warm-blooded and lack fur, so this is relatively debatable.
