I have kept vagrans for years. I have never seen any cannibalism and I have kept number of them together and of varioius sizes. I have heard males have eaten newborn babies...but have never seen it...I keep gravid snakes separate. I have seen them eat lizards also

all good feeding methods mentioned there, good luck with that one. as far as housing another snake with it, if they are of equal size there is little danger, but your wandering will be larger than even the biggest northwestern, so eventually the northwestern would possibly seen as food. I have gotten WC sirtalis ssp. to eat with little to no difficulties, however, due to these guys preferring the slimy squishy things in life, it can be a little more difficult. My bait shop only had canadian nightcrawlers, and not a single snake has shown interest in them. I think there were 5 slugs before and now only 3, so at least 2 may have been eaten. I am going out tonight to get some nightcrawlers from where I found one of the snakes, with all this rain, the worms are everywhere. hopefully I get one of them to eat, but as mentioned, I think the large females are gravid as I found them WITH males in the grass, and they are fat, so unless I notice weight loss I will not worry if they don't eat for the next 2 weeks or so... after that I will most likely release them and hope they can better avoid cats, crows, and little children...
