    They will only eat worms and slugs/Snails.

    This species is a specialist feeder, any other food items aside from what I just mentioned above will simply not be viewed as food by your snake.

    Sure, just freeze it for a few weeks first. Live, unfrozen amphibians will carry a ton of parasites
