I need help to know what sex my snake is ...

It's the same way uncooked pork can give people parasites; a lot of wild frogs carry parasites, and they can be transferred to the snakes. But since you caught yours, he's already been exposed to these things, so frogs shouldn't hurt until you can get him on other foods.

With fish, try to stay away from anything with red or yellow coloration. That usually means the fish contains Thiaminase, which can cause neurological problems if they get too much of it. Can you get salmon or tilapia from your grocery store? Also, guppies are safe to feed.

If it won't take scented pinkies, try chopping up the mouse with chopped bits of a food they will eat. Eventually they should start taking just the mouse with nothing else.

Mine eat night crawlers and pinkies.

It doesn't really matter if he is picky, gold fish will eventually deplete his b1 and kill him. He'll start having seizures if that happens, and he will suffer. It is a lot better for him if you feed him worms and or pinkies. Frogs, if wild caught, get parasites, easily. And, if your snake eats them, they go into your snakes system. Frogs are known to carry a ton of parasites.

OMFG ahhhhh i feel horrible stupid sites they all want me to be a bad momma giving me bad advice grrr....we asked for guppies at the pet store but all they carry is feeder fish aka gold fish ...jeezz those losers... lol well i read something that said that just a diet of worms didn't give them the right vitamins and stuff and that it was all ok cause they ate it in the wild

[Hazeldarc]

how big do they get when there not babies anymore?

[kibakiba]

Worms are higher in nutrients than people give them credit for. A light dusting of calcium once a month is all one really needs to survive off worms. Pinkies are also a plus, variety is key in keeping a garter healthy.

Male snakes don't get very big, I'd say he couldn't get much bigger than 2 maybe 2.5 feet.

[Hazeldarc]

for real jeezz i really wonder when he was born so how much do i feed him at one time?

[Hazeldarc]

so he is totally all the way a boy tho????? 100 percent or no

[Hazeldarc]

whats wrong with me feeding him once a day and are giant Canadian night crawlers ok

[kibakiba]

Enough to make a bulge in his stomach and nothing more, and then wait until that bulge goes away to feed again. Snakes can get overweight and it can kill them.

He does look like 100% boy to me, I'm not sure if another member would have any objections to that.
