    Re: Brown snake baby care?

    I went out by the barn and cut a piece of lawn all the way down to the dirt.

    That way all I had to do was drop slugs in there. I kept the grass watered, and trim with scissors. The babies would find cracks and go subterranean, it was cool.

    Here is a twist I forgot, those babies are still going to be smallish this winter, ever try finding slugs in a snow bank?

    We had to farm slugs in the basement.

    I had to do that for my Dekay's when I had him. Fortunately, they breed like demon spawn, so it went pretty well!

    Yeah, the slugs breed well, and I have a friend with a restaurant, she gives me free (yucky) salad all the time for the slugs. Dark, damp and cool, We used an old chest freezer. man it stunk inside, had to hold my breath to gather them.
