Zigmund,
Milk snakes tend to be more "hostile" than Garters. Sometimes they will imitate a rattlesnake just to scare predators, and to the snake you are a predator.
In 30 years of picking up snakes, Nearly all of the milks either bit or musked. (one little neonate even went after my hand like a rabid badger)
The one I decided to keep this year, she laid seven eggs for me.
We keep her at 75-80 and no heaters this time of year, she spends time under her water bowl to stay cool.
She ate really well when I first brought her in, then suddenly stopped eating, about a week after her last meal she dropped eggs.
