Re: New little snake
I would try a small shallow dish with some feeder guppies......can't hurt. Or, some small/med crickets.

Re: New little snake
Ok. I will try crickets since that is what I have on hand right now. I'll let her settle in a few days first.

Re: New little snake
I'm sure it looks like lots of other snakes.. it's pretty generic. lol She's real cute though.
Would small rosey red feeder minnows be ok? We don't have feeder guppies at petsmart.

Re: New little snake
Pretty little thing! Wish I could help with some info, but I'm clueless about those tiny species. My only guess would be to keep any supplemental heat at a minimum as colubrids in general don't seem to want or tolerate as much heat as boids do.

Re: New little snake
Most colubrids found in the SE Minnesota and Iowa area don't need too much supplemental heat. This time of the year there are still several days at 50F, so they are quite used to the cold.
The feeding aspect I have no clue on, I suppose it would be like any snake, and eat when food is available. If it is a cricket eater with the occaisional fish I would say every 4 to 5 days.
Quite a cute little one! Good luck!
You definitely correctly identified it as a (Northern) brown snake and Storeria dekayi dekayi...I found it in my Peterson Field Guide for Eastern/Central North America. Always a helpful tool.

Re: New little snake
Thanks for the advice guys.
I'll take her off the flexwatt I guess. The ambient temps in the quarantine room run around 70 degrees.

Re: New little snake
She's a little cutie. Just wondering in the second picture right by your fingernail...is that mark a little injury or is it just too late at night and my eyes are going wonky on me?
