or any other milk snake
What types of rock/shrub/dirt can I not put in the enclosure of a pueblan milk snake?
I would keep you milk snake on shredded aspen, although there are natural looking substrates that will work nicely such as forest floor. Sand is completely innapropriate for colubrids of this kind. It will irritate their scales and possibly cause respiratory irritation. You will have to check as far as plant types that are not toxic. Most plants will not handle living in a viv without some kind of growing light to keep them alive. I find pothos does well in low light and usually doesn't require anything special to keep them as long as they are watered once in a while. They also are hardy and hold up well to a heavy snake body climbing on them. Any rock that is stable and won't fall on the snake if it should crawl on it would be fine. If it is something you get from the outdoors, you'll need to clean it well to make sure there are no contaminents or parasites on it.
