Description
The Apricot Pueblan Milk Snake (Lampropeltis triangulum campbelli) is a selectively bred morph prized for its soft apricot-toned coloration and reduced contrast. Unlike the standard Pueblan Milk Snake, this morph displays gentle blends of orange, apricot, and cream hues that produce a clean, pastel appearance under natural or artificial light. Native to central Mexico, this species is hardy, adaptable, and docile, thriving in captivity and easy to handle. Calm, curious, and manageable in size, it's an excellent choice for beginner to intermediate reptile keepers seeking a colorful, low-maintenance display snake.
- - Use aspen shavings, paper-based substrate, or coconut husk for easy burrowing and cleaning
- - Maintain a warm side of 86 -88 F and a cool side of 75 -80 F
- - Humidity should remain 40-50%, with proper ventilation to prevent excess moisture

Set up and verify the enclosure is fully prepared and environmental conditions are stable before unpacking. A minimum 20-gallon enclosure is recommended for juveniles, with larger habitats as they mature. Gently place the snake in the enclosure and allow 24-48 hours to settle. Keep the area calm and quiet, and avoid handling during this time to help the animal adjust comfortably to its new environment.
