Snake ID

The cage is alittle messy from worms and such =[


Im not quite sure what type of snake it is,he's very freindly,and will let me 'pet' him,and he is somewhat calm when i hold him,[though he is extremly fast,and moves kinda weird]


if you need more pics,just tell me =D

when i went to take the pics,he had a worm cuddled up with him,i was going to take a pic of it,but he made the worm move =[

She's a very pretty one. Have you tried her on slugs yet? (the small, beige ones).

Re: Snake ID

they adore slugs.
they are often called the gardeners best friend , because they eat the slugs that munch your lettus!!!
I have one, had him for a year NOW...
easy to take care of if you like LITTLE SNAKES.
they do not get much bigger
good luck with him, bye

Re: Snake ID

Worms and slugs are a good basic diet... but you want the right slugs... not the great big black monsters!

Re: Snake ID

Another Dekays..........YAY!!
What a pretty little thing! Definitely try slugs -- mine eats just about any size I've given him, but I'm beginning to think my snakes would eat deep-fried zucchini sticks and pizza if I offered it..........

if i presented it the right way, I bet my garters would bite at it too. But, let's not try that. ever.
