    Well I have another one, its kind of hard to photograph her without provoking a threat display.

    when I was little they called me the snake man... as I was usually carrying around a bucket full of brown snakes.

    From what I've read I either have to find very small worms or slugs, or cut up a large worm into small pieces.

    That looks completely gravid, not a threat. I'd feed her soft food, which you are with the snails and worms.

    Maybe gravid, but that snake is definitely purposely flattening itself.

    Re: Finally got one!

    Well she finally came out of the substrate for a drink and I think she was checking out one of the snails... she curled around it but didn't bite. I guess she just might not be hungry. I'm hoping she'll decided to eat one of them when I'm not awake jumping up every time I hear ruffling to check on her...

    About how long should I wait before trying something else? I've got about 4 earth worms in a bucket outside, I left leaves and dirt for them so they should be fine. I could also look for some slugs.

    Been there done that, the slugs you need to avoid are the thick orange ones. they will choke your snake.

    the snails in my yard look like the ones in the photo I posted, never saw the swirling kind here.

    That was the first thing I noticed, too. I was going to go back and read to see if she was recently caught. Good luck with your little mama

    Replied before noticing the comment about a threat display. That did cross my mind and she does appear to be flattening herself, but knowing how thin these guys usually are I would be incredibly surprised if she wasn't gravid.

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.
