  1. I bought mine from Petco and he was so gentle, one tip...always get the mice you feed him from a trusted store. I found a pet shop I had never heard of and fed him mice from there and he died. I was so pissed.


  2. a breeder means it captive bred means less stressed healthier animal. it will be easier to tame will likely have a longer life span and less likely to have stress related behavior disorders  

  3. Most breeders have healthier stock with known genetics (helpful if you plan to breed your snakes).  They also usually have some sort of guarantees and after-sales care and advice, if you run into problems.  

    Behavior isn't really an issue.  Snakes (or any reptile) will become accustomed to being handled if you work with them a little every day or so. The exception to the regular handling is when they are digesting after a meal.

    Good luck with your decision.

  4. try http://market.kingsnake.com click on classifieds and type in milk snake  

  5. I would say petfinder.com

  6. Hey, I think that you should buy a snake from a breeder.  Yeah they may be a little more expensive, but at least you know that they have been shown more attention than a snake from a pet store.  Most of the time shipping is only about $60 or so.  A lot of my snakes have come from pet stores and they are all well behaved but one.  www.kingsnake.com has a lot of snakes on it.  just go to the classifieds section.  they have almost anything and everything you could ask for there.  its a neat website.  I actually have a clutch of 10 corn snake eggs right now.  They will hatch at the end of Sept.  I hope this helps and good luck!
