Snake ID

[Samm]

The cage is alittle messy from worms and such =[


Im not quite sure what type of snake it is,he's very freindly,and will let me 'pet' him,and he is somewhat calm when i hold him,[though he is extremly fast,and moves kinda weird]


if you need more pics,just tell me =D

when i went to take the pics,he had a worm cuddled up with him,i was going to take a pic of it,but he made the worm move =[

Storeria dekayi.. Dekays Snake (or Brown Snake). A few of our members have this species.

=D thank you

i was leaning toward brown snake for what it eats /the way it moves

She's a very pretty one. Have you tried her on slugs yet? (the small, beige ones).

[salzar]

they adore slugs.
they are often called the gardeners best friend , because they eat the slugs that munch your lettus!!!
I have one, had him for a year NOW...
easy to take care of if you like LITTLE SNAKES.
they do not get much bigger
good luck with him, bye

I havent tried slugs yet [ill have to research what they like to eat]

thanks for the tip

[adamanteus]

Worms and slugs are a good basic diet... but you want the right slugs... not the great big black monsters!

Another Dekays..........YAY!!
What a pretty little thing! Definitely try slugs -- mine eats just about any size I've given him, but I'm beginning to think my snakes would eat deep-fried zucchini sticks and pizza if I offered it..........:D

Ah yes, dekay's! I'm gonna get me a colony of these guys this summer. :P

if i presented it the right way, I bet my garters would bite at it too. But, let's not try that. ever. :)

[anji1971]

No worries, I'm not going to attempt it! We have enough to stress about with mites, parasites and thiaminase--we don't need high blood pressure and cholesterol problems too!!:D

lolz :rolleyes:


i had just watched a youtube video about a guy saying his snake told him when he was hungry, [what happened was the snake sorta poked up and did a yawn]

then like not even 5 minutes later my snake did that i was like :confused::confused:

it was really cute


ill have to find a place to get some slugs..i havent really seen any

[anji1971]

Look in areas where it stays moist, and there is lots of decaying leaves and plant matter. Under rocks is also a good spot to find slugs. At night they should be out and about all over the place!

[adamanteus]

If you leave pieces of orange peel (like little domes) out on your lawn overnight, you should find slugs congregated inside them in the morning.
