question

[Reno]

umm im not exactly sure what type of worms they are... and ive tried feeding it to her (atleast i think its a her) by just dangling it infront of her with my hands lol.. and ive only had her for right at about 2 weeks now

She's probably not sure of you yet - or all that hungry (when was the last time you fed her a minnow?) - since, I'm assuming, for the two weeks you've had her you've not hand fed the minnows, or have you?

So that you know she eats, put her and a worm in a container she can't escape from, and leave her alone. Let her eat in peace. Then put another one in, or put 2-3 in with her initially. Once she gets comfy and used to worms you can try hand feeding them to her.

We got Winnie last year late summer/early fall and she only started eating from my hand this spring. She's so used to it now that she'll even take worms even from the hands of kids that visit the park.

It could be your hand she's leery of, not the worm.

ok i have one more question for you guys... is there a place where i can buy live or dead toads/frogs cuz my snake really likes them frogs lol and its hard to find them around here thats just right for her to eat and not to big for her... so if anyone knows a good place to buy them that would be great

You're welcome, Reno! Yup. Sounds like worms are going to be her least fav food.
