Re: Dekay snakes
That first one is tiny. What does it eat in the wild & what would you feed it in captivity?

Re: Dekay snakes
i have seen them eat slugs before i would also think they would eat very small worms in the wild too. i would try feeding them little worms if possible in captivity .they are pretty secretive snakes and hard to come across. i find them under wood and bark in semi open fields. =]

I trained her by smearing slug goo over the extra small pinkies until she associated pinks as food.
I live where I can get unlimited slugs/snails & worms.

Re: Dekay snakes
How long did it take to get the snake to associated pinkies as a food source ?

Xena was a special girl, and I kept her with two male garter snakes, so she started behaving like a garter snake after a while.
Life expectancy is around 5 years, she lived to be almost 7.
To answer your question, I only scented twice, then she just went for the pinkies.

Re: Dekay snakes
If you get them to eat for you, they make fine captives.
However any spring captures will most likely be gravid, and the babies are really challenging to get started in captivity...
They demand you catch tiny little slugs to feed them. Been there done that too many times.
