Re: new snake

Yep, I'd have to agree, Storeria dekayi wrightorum or Midland Brown snake. Earthworms, slugs and snails are it's mainstay diet, grows to about 1.5ft in lenght. Likes things a bit on the moister side then some larger colubrids, so does really well in a naturalistic setup with soil, plants and such. Just make sure that there are some dry spots for it as well, shouldn't be completely moist or wet all the time. If you keep it in a "normal" snake setup, I'd make sure you include a moss dish or some other moist hiding spot for it. Very cute little snakes....oh and at the size your's is, it's not a baby...that's about adult size.
