Best diet?

steve, with the # of snakes you've got why not just keep a 5 gallon sized plastic bin out in the garage? (cold keeps them alive longer...) just feed them lettuce and a few mice every month and spray it down every so often and you'll have a colony going in no time!!!

No garage! Too cold here to leave outside. This year I stored about 200 worms from the last day I could collect them. No time to raise a colony since they are eaten-up so fast.
Anyway, it's good for the economy that I have to buy them. Just doing my little part to make things better for everyone.

The whole concept of buying worms still confuses me.... especially if you only have one snake to feed. Just collect a few from the garden or locally. To me it's like asking 'Where can I buy rain?' Just go outside and pick some up.

I'd rather buy them. Better safe then sorry. Plus I'm not big on digging around in the dirt

Wait until you get a good rain. Get them off the grass(no dirt) Just make sure no chemicals were used there. Don't get them from the street. That run-off is filled with oils and chemicals off vehicles.

That's my point. I live in an apartment. So I would hav no idea if chemicals were used on the grass. Or any grass nearby for that matter. Thats why it'd be easier for me to buy them

I didn't know that. Looks like you'll have to buy them until another solution arises.
