just found it in my room...lol
southern water snake Nerodia fasciata
so cute! its pretty much a hatchling, maybe 3.5 inches long.
so i plan on gettin a 10 gal. tank for it, packing in some aspen pretty high up with a small hide, with a large dish of water buried in the aspen, sound like a good setup? i know they eat small fish, such as minnows. we live on a very clean lake (3rd cleanest lake in florida) and was thinkin about catchin the minnows around our dock, sound ok? or no? maybe petshop fish? and any tips on water snakes would be appreciated, never owned any.
