Dekayi snakes are one of those snakes that never stop amazing me, they are so calm and docile, they are social like garter snakes, and are commonly mistaken for garter snakes.
Dekayi are primarily slug eaters, they are beneficial and commonly found in gardens, sadly peoples fear of snakes causes most gardeners to kill them, when all the little snake wants to do is eat the slugs that are destroying the plants.
Our first ever captive snake was a DK our daughter named Xena.
This gal looked very gravid...
I took this while herping, look at the size difference, the garter snake looks huge compared to the Dekayi.
