    Earthworm Credit

    I've always called them Earthworms. Those wonderful pale little worms that have saved countless babies snake of mine from starving.
    Tonight I learned what they really are and want to give them the credit they deserve.
    I highly recommend these worms for troubled or non-eaters.

    I've never seen one of those worms. They actually... Look kind of pretty. Haha. I'm sure Mama would like to snack on a few of those.

    They must smell and probably taste different than night crawlers as some babies will pick the out of a mix.
    After a month or so of these, my babies make the switch to night crawlers without any troubles.
    Thank goodness for Aporrectodea rosea.

    I've always just called these the plywood worms since we used to find them under sheets of plywood in our backyard. Houdini still likes these better than nightcrawlers even though he graduated to adult snake food a loooong time ago.

    Yea thanks Steve for the tip.
    I raise Night Crawls in peat dirt and chicken mash and offered the smaller ones to the smaller snakes. Never considered searching for these “white worms”.
