Hello! I'm new here!

Hi! I just wanted to let you know how helpful your website has been to me! I found what I think is a DeKay's snake in my yard over the weekend and decided to keep it as a pet. So far, he/she has eaten a slug and half a earthworm. It is so cute. Very shy, but maybe it will come around soon. We named him Merlin. I attached some pictures! I am using organic soil from Lowes because I plan to slowly turn his aquarium into a terrarium. I have been feeding him every second day. Is that correct? I am gathering up the courage to try to really get him out and hold him this weekend. I am nervous! I had a ball python when I was in college. For some reason "wild" snakes seem much more intimidating than ones you get in the pet store.
