Help me identify these worms? (Safe for a storeria dekayi?)

[YoungSnake]

It's winter, and I can't find any of the big, meaty earthworms I used to feed my girl. I went digging, got down about a foot and found some tiny worms. Could you guys help me identify these, I don't want to feed her the "red worms" that I hear are toxic. I took the best pics I could. These are on a paper towel.. they're very tiny / skinny worms.

Any good sites with pictures / easy ways to identify bad worms?

Any good sites that will ship (USA) the good worms? The pet shops and bait shops around here only have "red wrigglers", which I think are the "bad worms"?

A foot down won't be red worms. Red worms are a composting worms and spend most of their lives near the surface consuming rotting plant matter.
Those look like Rosy-tipped worms.

Safe worms by the way.

Thank you for the advice. I fed Young Snake, and she loved them. They were tinier than she's used to.. she usually has to fight the big earthworms

Are these (European Night Crawlers) safe to buy for a northern brown snake?

shop. speedyworm. com/european-nightcrawlers-p7.aspx (Sorry, it would not let me post the URL).

It's $20 total, shipped, for 100 worms.. this would last my snake for a long time, so the price is right since I can't seem to find any in the winter.

Please advise, thank you!

I would say no. Stick to Canadian Night Crawlers - Lumbricus terrestris
Lumbricus terrestris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Many Walmarts carries the correct worms.

Let me rewrite that in English.

...and some of them are regular customers lol. The worms he pictured are earthworms and safe. I've also used European night crawlers without any issues. They're just smaller than Canadian night crawlers. So long as you're dealing with an earthworm and not a composting worm, "red wiggler" .. "trout worm" (thin, red-banded worms w/yellow slime) like this one pictured, you're OK.

If they look like this, don't use them:

These are young lobworms - Earthworms- Nightcrawlers whatever you want to call them
