Multiple species in one enclosure

[Zdravko092368]

Storeria occipitomaculata occipitomaculata, beautiful snake.

They sure are and they come in a whole bunch of natural morphs, too bad they are so hard to breed because the babies come out 3 inches long. I still want to try it one day.

Zdravko: What do you feed your occipitomaculata? I'm just curious since this is the first I've heard of one thriving in captivity. I'm sure it can be done, it's just uncommon from what I've heard

I've been catching garden slugs and tiny worms and just release them in the enclosure for them to hunt when they want, I haven't had them very long so only time will tell how they do. But they are in a naturalistic setup, which I think is much better for this species. I don't think they would do well in barebones enclosures or with unnatural substrates, they seem more intolerable than garters or brown snakes. Live plants, slugs, pillbugs, sow bugs, springtails, beetles, etc, live in the enclosure, set it up all with stuff I caught in the backyard which is native to the area.
