black milksnake wild habits

Posted by ballyhoo1887 on February 14, 2003 at 21:23:17:

I was recently doing some research on black milks, and I didn't pull up much about their wild habits. I guess there's not much info about that. While I was researching, an idea popped into my head, and I wanted to check in with some of the more experienced herpers to make sure it wasn't that preposterous of an idea. I was thinking that maybe a reason that captive black milks, (which are fed captive raised mice or rats) so easily become obese is because in the wild they may live on a diet consisting of mostly reptiles. I have seen pictures of king cobras that live on a rat-only diet compared to king cobras that live on a snake-only diet, and the muscle tone is significantly different. Seems like it might be a valid point, but I wanted to make sure.
