    Re: Brown snake help?

    All the Dekays I have had were wild caught (except for the ones I bred myself). I never had a problem feeding them.

    I wish! No, they were wild caught imports, bought in a crappy pet shop.

    Re: Brown snake help?

    some times sal will be watching the boys play in there room for a long time he comes out at dusk or in the mornings and will wander around his cage from hide to hide and then to the heating pad thingy under his tank, they are great because there is no cord in the tank for him to climb out with..
    I would like to have another one , but I also would like a garter as well. soooo need another tank, and am going to be looking for one as soon as the weather gets better and there are some garage sales ,,
    bye

    Re: Brown snake help?

    i had two dekay's snakes and one was so small it looked smaller than an earth worm!! but after some time it died from eating issues. it couldnt ever eat a small piece of worm. it would take 30 minutes for him to finish one small piece. but every other time he would spit it out and leave it be. so i think it was form starvation. it was very sad. i felt bad but they dont get very big at all about 15 inches. right?

    I think 15 inches is the average. Stitch is a bit longer than that. It's more that they are so darned skinny overall that makes them look so small! And they have a really tiny head!

    Re: Brown snake help?

    I've had lots of brown snakes, also called Brovn Dekay's snakes, they usually love worms and that was all that I fed mine... feed it often and keep it in a warm place with lots of hiding places. I love Brown Dekay's snakes, they are so cute and so tame. I catch wild ones all the time and have never gotten bit or even striked at by one. Good Luck!!!

    P.S.

    Try putting reptivite on it's food after it already has it in it's mouth... it keeps them healthy.
