Re: Is my snake dehydrated or starving?

For baby worms, just flip rocks or roll over logs.

During the winter I kept a broken chest freezer with about a foot of compost in the bottom, I caught a few hundred slugs in the autumn and put them in there with the compost, I fed them lettuce from the grocery store.

It's a ton of work, but it was worth it.

I'm glad you mentioned that. I was wondering if you'd need slugs through the winter. I wonder if I caught and released one of those in my garden if it would keep the slugs off my flowers
