    Re: Dekayi Questions

    Oh really? Well then, I'll keep her going on snails and earthworms. The one I gave her this morning was tiny, I'll get another for her. She seemed more lively today, I suppose the easiest way to get an animal to like you is to feed it.
    when I was little they called me the snake man... as I was usually carrying around a bucket full of brown snakes.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Well I tested the theory by tossing three earth worms into the tank at once... I didn't know it was possible for a creature to eat what looked like half its body weight in food in a matter of minutes. She was very subtle about it, I never saw her, Just the worms quickly sinking into the substrait, one after the other, in about 3-5 minute intervals.

    She's either extremely hungry, greedy or both. In any event I'm not going to test her again anytime soon. I might end up destroying the ecology of my garden.

    Normally I wouldn't go that far, but I assume two things. One that's she's stressed, (which consumes a lot of energy) and two that she's pregnant, (which consumes a lot more energy) so given the circumstances I thought it would be better to err on the side of more food rather than less. I hope that wasn't a mistake, but she seemed rather pleased and I find it very hard to say no to my pets, unless of course its my food they want.
