It's a northern brown for sure. Feeds on worms and slugs, but no red wigglers!

S. dekayi.
Worms and slugs for sure. Care is much like that of garter snakes. They are more cold tolerant and require little to no extra heat. Here's a link to the forum care sheet. Feel free to ask any additional questions. This forum loves and welcomes the Browns.

Never heard of S. dekayi eating fish. Is fish all you've tried?

Also tried wax worms was told not to give him mealworms cause they are to hard for them to digest...

either slugs or earth worms, you can buy worms at petco petsmart also walmart. they are shy eaters, i suggest feeding and leaving alone for a day
