Re: Brown snake help?

hi ,
I have a brown snake and they are easy to keep.
they will not take big earth worms so cut them up in to 1/2 inch pieses, they adore slugs and mine will eat them over worms 2 to 1 .
mine loves to be handled and I do so like 7 times a day he is a very nice snake and really only likes me and trusts me, they shy easy so slow movement is important.
keep handling him he will get use to it , just do not over handle him, he may get to stressed out, mine took to eating right away, and is not a normal behaving snake.
he likes to eat from my hand and drinks from his bowl whilst I am holding him tottaly spoiled!!!!
i offer him water everytime I pick him up.
I use aspen chips but paper towles work well.
they do like to hide a lot but are day feeders so use coconut shells or u shaped bark I also use cut off long sleaves from a sweat shirt with peek holes cut in them, he loves that. there are shots of my cage and sal in the gallery look under salzar. hope you have good luck with him, they are fun!!
bye
michelle
