Slugs?

Good to know. I might try the feeding of the veggies. It makes me a little paranoid feeding stuff from the wild, so if it makes it healthier, I'm all for it. As for the slugs, I never planned on that being a main food source, I just have so many in my yard, I thought it would be cool if I could feed him some occasionally.

Yeah, why not. I got tons of slugs too, nearly year 'round. Northwesterns and a couple of my radixes love slugs from my yard. If you get them early in the morning their guts are still full of fresh greens. You could gather them up and deliberately feed them cabbage, broccoli, kale, spinach, whatever, right before you give them to your snakes too.

If you're ever unsure if that red worm you find in your yard is the bad kind, pick it up. If it's the bad kind, it will excrete and nasty yellow slime thick and sticky like slug slime, and it will smell like rotting flesh. If it just smells like dirt, you're probably OK.
