N.B. Do you think it is Coin Snake or Asian Racer? I cannot tell the difference....

Same species.

After trying chicken, meat and salmon and nothing worked. Yesterday a mouse gave birth to 6 pinkies, it was her first delivery and for a strange reason she did not know how to feed them. I found 4 of them dead today, so I decided to try one with the new snake. Surprisingly it took him 10 minutes to swallow it.
I am really glad to get him eating at last. Any way I have 3 more for him for the coming weeks. Hopefully by the spring he will be ready to go back to the wild

Thanks everybody for the help...

Good news and no problem.

I'm going to have to check its protection status within the EU.

Edit: The species doesn't seem to be in either the CITES or EU appendices and is not a IUCN red-listed species. I might have to consider getting one, if I ever get the opportunity.

don't you think you might feel tempted to keep him?

The addiction has started.
Be careful, the town's people may try to run you out of town

Rhea: I really thought about it a lot. Especially since I found it on Christmas eve and I might consider it as gift However, in all cases he will be here at least for 3 more months. After that, I think it will be really hard to let it go. Let’s wait till that time

Steve: They started running from my house at least Wait till they know that I will release snakes and then they will run away hahaha. Today I was cleaning a young Natrix Tessellata aquarium, he kept trying to run away so I let him go and enjoy his discovery trip of the house. After I finished the cleaning process, I looked for him and found him trying to go into another aquarium (he used to live in that one during summer), so guess after all they consider this as their home and never want to leave it. (Free shelter and food, who would leave that )

Stefan: I promise you if I am going to release the snake or if I ever find new one I will send to you. You only have to tell me how to send it to Finland. You can consider it as a late Christmas gift

That's okay, I bet I could find a breeder somewhere closer.
