Finally got one!

Yeah also I think she's starting to feel more at home she finally left the substrait and started using the paper towel hide I put in for her. I wonder if I can't make somekind of clay fake log for her... perhaps with a hole on the top for me to drop earth worms in so she can catch them like she would in the wild. that might get her interested.

My Dekayi doesn't particularly like to be watched while eating. He will come out in the evening, around dusk. If I put worms in at that time, he will go after them but many times, he ducks back into his hide until I move away. Then I sneak back to watch him cause he's so cute. But I have to sneak...

They are small snakes, and from my experience, the smaller the snake, the more shy it is. For obvious reasons.

[Mommy2many]

He's funny though. I will put a small bowl of little worms from the garden in the enclosure and tip it on it's side, so he can get to them easily. He will go into the bowl like it's a buffet!

He is also pretty crafty. Sometimes the worms will escape and bury themselves into the wet aspen (thank you Jesse snake). My Dekayi knows they are there and tunnels after them.

Maybe in a dekayi's case, but Azul is as small as it gets here, and he likes to chase Mama when she's eating and try to steal her food. He's fearless.

I love fearless little snakes! They are so inspiring.

I meant small species. If there's a midget radix, that's different than a big ringneck. The radix would be a radix, the ringneck would be really shy.

Well northwesterns are tiny snakes They're bold and, well, I've only ad one shy NW. Pumpkin.

I love 'em!! My flame was ridiculous for the first few weeks. He was 6 inches long and would do the cotton mouth display. Nippy like heck.

Now he's very calm and laid back, but if he wants down (from me holding him) he casually turns and lets me know with a bite. He's got a unique personality..

They're garters, and aren't TINY. I'm talking dekay, ringneck, red belly, those guys.
