Is my snake dehydrated or starving?

What you are describing is the later stages of starvation.

These little snakes need to eat very often, when I kept Dekayi snakes I fed them every other day, a mix of garden slugs and small earthworms.

Where is the most handy place to get garden slugs and small earthworms? Also, do they eat fish? ***Oooh I just thought of a good question for another thread.*** I know nothing about this species so this is for my own curiosity as well as helping the OP.

To the OP: Is this snake wild caught? If so the best chance it has is for you to release it and then purchase yourself a cbb (captive born & bred) starter. There are many many many people here with great suggestions on what to start with and a wide range of instruction on how to care for them.
