I have a cornsnake now, and I'm planning on getting some kind of milksnake in May or June. So here's the scenario: I'm starting to teach high school biology next year, I do wildlife rehab and a big part of that is educational stuff with live animals, and I'm planning on doing more educational stuff (continuing it actually) with my summers off. I'd like to use my snakes as part of this program.

Which of the milksnakes is the best as far as being calm while handling (hatchlings I don't care about because they can grow out of it...I want to know which adults are more flighty in general)? Anything else I should know about in terms of which kind would work the best in this type of setting?

Thanks!

I use sinaloans in my class. I also use ball pythons and my colombiam boas. Make sure you use an animal that is used to lots of hands and movement.
