Do they have Storeria in New York?

edit: apparently so. That would be my best guess. Do a google search for Storeria dekayi and tell us if that's what you have.

i dont know im more of a boidae guy but i know a little about garter snakes enough to know theseguys are odd

[adamanteus]

Good call, Stefan! I bet you nailed it.
Jason, just Google Storeria dekayii, I think you might have your ID.

[jere000]

yep that is exactly what they are i googled them there very cool

[Stefan-A]

Their diet consists of slugs, snails, worms and other soft-bodied invertebrates. Is that something you're going to be able to provide them?

Dekayi, nice.

My dekayi started eating slugs only. I kept mixing in worm parts to the slug mix and now she's switched to worms most of the time. I got to hand feed her the other day. She's also been spending a lot more time out of the hide. She must be settling in.
