You are so right, the black milk and the mexican milk are both gorgeous snakes!! Heck, if your going to get hatchlings, get yourself two 10 gal tanks and purchase one of each!!!
You know how addictive this hobby can become! LOL So go ahead and get both, because if you are like me, you will end up with 3 or 4 or 5 (or more). LOL

But if I had to choose between the two, I would personally go with the black milk. As a hatchling they are just as vivid as any milk, and then they darken with age and turn jet black. And not to mention, they get huge compared to the average milk!! They will also most always calm down more than the average milk.

Good luck on your choice and happy herping!

:Thanks to the help of everyone who has responded to my past posts on what I should get, I have narrowed it down to two: Black Milks, or Mexican Milks. Which one???? I just can't decide. I know that black milks are considerably more money, but they are just so cool! At the same time, mexican milks are gorgeous little snakes that don't take up much room and breed like rabbits. As my first, no second milksnake, (I had a polyzona that died of a tumor) I just cannot decide. Any way that you could help me with the pros and cons would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot,
