My name is Vaughn and I live in Maryland. A few months ago I came home from school and saw a little Northern Brown/DeKay's Snake sitting curled up on my basement carpet, the next day my father found a second one. The day I found the first one me and my father went to a local pet store and picked up a 5 gallon tank and other materials for a basic setup. Shortly after introducing the second snake they mated, and now with a much larger tank I have 5 babies hiding around somewhere in the soil.

I wanted to see if anyone could provide some personal insight or pointers for caring for them. The two adults have been easy enough with catching worms and slugs for food, but the babies are so small (about 2 1/2 inches long) I'm not sure how I'm going to do this. I just set up in the original tank a terrarium for slugs and I'm hoping they will breed and become a reliable food source, especially for the winter.

It seems like my only real option is just to look hard for tiny worms for the time being. Of course I've done some research on the snakes but I was hoping some of you could provide some helpful tips, if not on feeding just in general around them so I can provide the best possible care.
Thanks!
