I have a Honduran Milk Snake - She is five years old and around 4 1/2' long. Some milk snakes can be bigger - between six and seven feet. Others will stay fairly small their whole lives. Milk snakes don't really get that thick like pythons or boas - they are usually long and skinny.

No. Actually, Milk Snake's and Black Snake's are quite docile when handled. And they hardly bite unless startled. They constrict their food. They are NOT poisonous.
The milk snake is a prime example of mimicry. Many predators will recognize the colorful bands of a coral snake and leave it be to avoid its deadly bite. The non-venomous milk snake mimics the coral snake's banding, so predators will mistake it for a coral snake and not attack it.
