    Snake ID

    The cage is alittle messy from worms and such =[


    Im not quite sure what type of snake it is,he's very freindly,and will let me 'pet' him,and he is somewhat calm when i hold him,[though he is extremly fast,and moves kinda weird]


    if you need more pics,just tell me =D

    when i went to take the pics,he had a worm cuddled up with him,i was going to take a pic of it,but he made the worm move =[

    She's a very pretty one. Have you tried her on slugs yet? (the small, beige ones).

    they adore slugs.
    they are often called the gardeners best friend , because they eat the slugs that munch your lettus!!!
    I have one, had him for a year NOW...
    easy to take care of if you like LITTLE SNAKES.
    they do not get much bigger
    good luck with him, bye

    Worms and slugs are a good basic diet... but you want the right slugs... not the great big black monsters!

    Another Dekays..........YAY!!
    What a pretty little thing! Definitely try slugs -- mine eats just about any size I've given him, but I'm beginning to think my snakes would eat deep-fried zucchini sticks and pizza if I offered it..........

    if i presented it the right way, I bet my garters would bite at it too. But, let's not try that. ever.
