Hello! I'm the new owner of a baby Lined Snake (Tropidoclonium lineatum), which seems to have similar care to garter snakes. Based on my research, this is one of the best sites to get information, so here I am.

So, according to my research, which I'm still working on, Lined Snakes are worm eaters. I have a tiny, hasn't-seen-many-days baby. I think a pinhead cricket may be bigger than the space between this little guy's eyes. He's far bigger in my mind than in reality as I keep thinking he's the same size as a newborn corn snake. But then I realize that he's not as thick as a pencil yet.

My concern is, knowing that he's a wild caught snake, how do I go about feeding him worms? Is cutting up nightcrawlers the only way? Or is there a source out there somewhere that sells really tiny nightcrawlers? He seems fairly active and is pretty tolerant for such a little thing. I'm terrified of holding him any time soon as he's hardly more than a toothpick!
