It's a fun yet difficult snake to work with, keeping the babies alive is not for everyone.
I found myself out in the yard every single morning hunting for little baby slugs the size of boogers, and scraping them off blades of grass with a toothpick.

I had some that would eat earthworms before. That's much easier than finding slugs. However you are correct on the babies being too small, lol. I had one give birth once, and I let all the babies go right away. There's no way I was gonna search for tiny earthworms. If someone breed worms maybe they could do it?
Hey Doc, there is something about that picture that doesn't say Dekay to me? Could it be some other small earth snake like a short tail or something? It would help if we knew what part of the country he found it.
Wayne, I love your avatar by the way. I just started watching House recently, and I am becoming a huge fan, even if I am late getting on board. Sorry for the "Doc" reference, I couldn't help it, lol. Whenever I read your posts, I see that picture doing the talking, it's great!
