Nice Storeria.

Is that a Dekay's, Stefan?

She looks quite comfy, Aundrea. So nice you came over from the dark side and fell in love with snakes. Same thing happened to me. But I'm still afraid of like corn, kings, "hot" snakes, stuff like that.

NICE water dish/swimming pool!

I was waiting on the picture

I gathered by the desciption it may have been a Dekayi Brown snake.

Feed it some small worms and garden slugs, they LOVE garden slugs.

And they shuck snails from the shell very well also.

Enjoy, they are great little snakes.............

He-he! So I did ID it from sight correctly! YEE-HA!

Dekay, you're gettin' me to want a Dekay. I really like their brown eyes and sweet 'smiles.'

[Aundrea]

Thanks everyone. Very sweet snake. Has not shown any anger towards us lol. So is it a brown snake and not a garter?

[infernalis]

Correct it is not a Garter. Have you seen it eat for you?

The brown snakes make excellent pets as long as they will eat for you.

Brown snakes will not eat fish, nor pinkies.

They live exclusivly on slugs/snails/worms

Ohhhhhhhh ok. Awww can i still be in this group since I dont have a garter? LOL. Yes she has ate for me before. In fact she just ate a nice size worm. Thanks for tell me thats all they eat and slugs. I was thinking to go buy her some feeder fish. Shes been great. Great eater and is very sweet being held. She dont move alot being held and trying to get away. She just wraps around your finger or hand and is comfy. I used to be so scared of snakes but now they are great. How big will this snake get?

[Aundrea]

btw dekaybrown is that a pic of your snake?

[Garter_Gertie]

Never mind, Dekay. No want a Dekay brown! I like the easy, lazy snakes!
