Hi
I have had a juevenile DeKay (brown) snake for about 6 weeks. I think she is female, as her head is almost the same size (diameter) as her body. She has been eating well, and has shed once. I've never burmated a snake before, so am hoping to keep her going through the winter. So far she has only eaten slugs (their main diet) and I have heard that wild slugs can contain nematodes. Should I be concerned? Also, I have frozen some slugs for a winter supply hoping she will take them. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
Eileen
