In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: As a rule of thumb, the enclosure’s length should be at least two thirds the size of an adult milk snake, which is about 36 in (91 cm). A glass aquarium would work, but a reptile tank with 3 wooden sides and 1 glass side will provide the most insulation. If you’re raising a hatchling, house it in a 12 by 6 in (30 by 15 cm) tank until it’s a year old. A larger tank could stress out a baby snake. To minimize brightness, choose a reptile heat lamp that emits red, black, or blue light. Keep a thermometer in the tank so you can ensure the temperature stays within the recommended range. Use a timer or turn off the heat lamp at night. Milk snakes are nocturnal, so keep their enclosure dark after sunset. It’s okay if the temperature drops to 65 to 70 °F (18 to 21 °C) overnight. Maintain a temperature between 84 and 88 °F (29 and 31 °C) on one side of the tank. Go with a reptile terrarium heating pad or heat tape with a dimmer switch so you have more control over the temperature. Place the pad or tape under one side of the tank; it should cover about a third of the tank’s length.  Find reptile terrarium heating pads online or at a pet store. Most have an adhesive backing and stick to the tank's underside. If your pad doesn't include them, purchase small 4 plastic feet to slightly elevate the tank. Elevating the tank prevents the pad from overheating. When you first install the pad, dial the dimmer to the lowest setting. Let it warm up for around 15 minutes, then take the temperature inside the tank. Increase the power gradually until the hot spot has reached the target range of 84 to 88 °F (29 to 31 °C). Reptiles are cold-blooded and need to move between hotter and cooler areas to control their body temperature. Track humidity levels using a hygrometer, or humidity monitor. To prevent skin and shedding issues, make sure the humidity stays between 40% and 60%. If you want the most affordable option, go with newspaper, butcher paper, or paper towel shavings. While they’re more expensive, natural products, such as pine, cypress, or aspen shavings, are preferred over paper.  You can find bedding labeled for reptiles online or at a pet store. Steer clear of cedar, which is toxic to reptiles. Additionally, avoid using sand or gravel, which could irritate your snake’s skin. Purchase plastic or stone caves or make hiding spots by cutting holes in boxes and lining them with sphagnum moss. Place a hiding spot on each side of the tank so your snake can hide in both the hot and cooler temperature zones. Milk snakes are secretive and need hiding spots to feel secure. The hiding spots should be just large for your snake to fit inside.
Summary: Buy a tank that’s at least 24 in (61 cm) long and 16 in (41 cm) high. Use a lamp to keep the temperature between 78 and 82 °F (26 and 28 °C). Install a heating pad under one side of the tank to make a hot spot. Maintain a humidity level between 40% and 60%. Line the tank with 2 to 3 in (5.1 to 7.6 cm) of paper or wood shavings. Place 2 to 3 hiding spots in the tank.
