    dekays

    ok so i found a little guy... and i have a few questions


    is it wierd that he is twice as ling and just as thick as my baby garter... and yet his hear is smaller???

    is it ok to feed him just worms over the winter?

    can i return him back to the wild after winter if i decide not to keep him?

    I assume you mean head? And yes the normal body structure of a Dekayi is smallish (especially males) my males are half as big around as the females, long and skinny with a tiny head.

    Yes, the year before last all we fed was worms. Last year farmed slugs in the basement, and with a litter of tiny sprogs, I'll be farming slugs again

    Shanley, yes - BUT be extra careful, do not let it come into contact with your other snakes, Take precautions to try your best and not introduce any potential disease into the wild population.

    oh and plus, the "grin" that they make when they are eating their slimy meal is so endearing! Thy curl their little lips up and they look something like this:
