    Midland Brown Snake

    So yeah... My uncle caught this little guy (or girl) and brought it over the other day... I wasnt sure what it was, but looked it up... Turns out this is about full grown I guess... I bought some crickets today to try and feed it but last time I checked it hasnt ate...


    The guy at petsmart actually knew what he was talking about! He told me since its wild caught, and an adult it probably wont eat (more so than a baby), and will be stressed out more... Which it sort of is sometimes. Probably only when i mess with it but yeah. Ill probably end up letting it go tomorrow...

    Re: Midland Brown Snake

    They eat crickets??

    Are they similar to garters? I would either release it or look up more feeding husbandry. Crickets don't provide any nutritional value to snakes generally, and it's good to feed young garters minnows and worms.

    Edit: Well apparently they are adapt at eating snails and pulling them from their shells. But it also said they eat small amphibians and soft-bodied insects. I personally would not consider crickets to be soft bodied, so I'd stick to worms.
