    Monster worms!!

    Good grief!!! The nightcrawlers I bought are bigger than my snakes!!!!! This is the right kind, right?? I asked for nightcrawlers and did not realize how huge they are till I got them home...

    So I put one in a baggie in the freezer so I can work up the nerve to chop him up into yummy bite sized pieces. Do you all normally find smaller sized worms??

    Thanks guys!!

    Sigh.... yeh. I get it. I'm gonna have to take the "rescue" off of my name if I keep chopping up small creatures. It's kind of a contradiction... lol

    look at it like this there almost always has to be a death in order for something to eat, weather thats a plant or an animal so on and so forth
    so I think your safe with keeping the rescue on there for now........

    Re: Monster worms!!

    water your yard real well just before night....you should be able to find smaller ones in the yard..as long as it's not being treated with any chemicals. we have what I always called angleworms....they are small, abouit 2-5 inches and thin. they don't have the purple heads that nightcrawlers do. they are easier for the snakes to eat....I usually can get a bunch after a heavy rain here during the day, or a long night of rain.
