Is a bowl of milk really bait for snakes?

No, a bowl of milk is not effective as bait for snakes. Snakes do not typically consume milk or any dairy products. They primary prey on rodents, frogs, fish, insects, birds, and other small animals. If you are looking to attract snakes, it is best to provide a habitat that suits their needs, such as a dark and undisturbed area with plenty of hiding places and a source of water.
