Isn't it cute? What is it?

Found this little fella under a pallet at work. I think he was munching on some slugs. What is it? And, it's supposed to say cute, not cut. it's 4 in the morning here......

I'm not convinced it's Storia. The body and head shape are either off or the picture color and focus are very off.

I guess I better take a picture of my little girl I keep. She has an unusually narrow face for a Dekayi.

Speaking of, I just fed her, she was so cute jumping at the hemostats with her little mouth open "gimme gimme that worm"

red belly snake - Storeria occipitomaculata

I used to keep one, she was gravid, delivered 21 babies.

Each of the squares on the bottom of the poly box are 1 inch by 1 inch.

The worm is a baby night crawler, the slugs are hatchlings (very tiny slugs)

Hey Wayne, how do you keep night crawlers and slugs through the winter? Or do you buy them?

I used a big old chest freezer, I filled it half way up with compost and soil.

The top sealed well enough to keep them in. Slugs would go right up the side.

By the way, the freezer was broken, so it was not plugged in.
