Young Milk Snakes Soon To Hibernate
The eggs that Milk Snakes laid last June or July hatched recently and the six-inch young snakes as well as the adults that produced them will only be evident (and then, mostly at night) for the next few weeks. Hibernation is around the corner, and these snakes often seek out the cellars of old houses with stone foundations in which to spend the winter. Should you come upon a Milk Snake, please spare its life. They are not poisonous, and you couldn’t ask for a more efficient mouse catcher (Mice accounted for 74 percent of a study of Milk Snakes’ stomach contents.).
