Yes, thats all I use for my tuba and tanks. Also, you asked if a 5 gallon tank was good for this snake and again, I say yes.

With a little time and patience, you can achieve this...

She was a sweetie, ate from my hands, would follow my finger back and forth, she was my first captive snake, been gone 2 1/2 yers and I still miss her.

I never knew Brown snakes ate worms. If I had thought of that at the time, maybe my friend wouldve had better luck feeding him.

aww she's cute! aww!

Well, it sounds like the snake is on it's way to doing well if it's eating. I would try to find some slugs and stuff for it. Make sure it has heat, moisture, etc. Newspaper is an okay substrate, just hard to keep moist because the heat source may dry it out fast.

I actually had a slug farm in my basement for her babies.

They are so tiny when born, they can't eat a worm, just neonate slugs.

Try hunting slugs that small without raising them yourself.
