Hello everyone,
I am new here and I joined this forum because I am having some snake issues.
I caught a storeria dekayi at work last month, I take animals home from there all the time because the managers kill them.
Anyway, everything was going good until I got home today and saw like 20 babies in the tank. I have no idea what to do, what do I feed them I feed the mother earth worms?
can I touch them? is it ok to touch the mother or is she in pain, she looks tired?
thanks, any help would be appreciated

Re: New snake owner
Welcome,
20 babies! Yes, she's tired. Very small(tiny) earth worms or very small slugs(large ones cut up) will get the babies started. I'm dealing with my first baby Dekayi's so it's new ground to me, also. Make sure they have access to plenty of water and something to hide under. Best of luck.

Not red wigglers. Red wigglers are poisonous to snakes.
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.
