dekays

[infernalis]

ok so i found a little guy... and i have a few questions


is it wierd that he is twice as ling and just as thick as my baby garter... and yet his hear is smaller???

I assume you mean head? And yes the normal body structure of a Dekayi is smallish (especially males) my males are half as big around as the females, long and skinny with a tiny head.

is it ok to feed him just worms over the winter?

Yes, the year before last all we fed was worms. Last year farmed slugs in the basement, and with a litter of tiny sprogs, I'll be farming slugs again

can i return him back to the wild after winter if i decide not to keep him?

Shanley, yes - BUT be extra careful, do not let it come into contact with your other snakes, Take precautions to try your best and not introduce any potential disease into the wild population.
