    Re: First time here.

    Yup, thats a Brown, I can send you a couple of more if you want.

    We are always swimming in them here. I know someone who has a couple of them, only worm eaters.

    And welcome to the forums, first time owner too.

    They also take slugs and snails.
    Watch them pull snails right out of the shell in the wild.

    Sweet snakes.

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

    I was looking for slugs yesterday after work since we just had rain but no luck. I did find some snails but I just couldn't figure out how they would eat them since they have they have a super crunchy coating.

    I read the bit about feeding on snails and thought "I'd like to see a video of that". Unfortunately nothing seems to come up on YouTube or a simple web search, does anyone know if there is a video out there?

    I'll try to shoot some video once Spring arrives. I've only seen it happen once in the wild but I'll see what I can do.
