Got gifted some snakes. Any ideas what they are

[kearth]

I ma thinking Dekays brown snakes

The females was WC in NY the people brought here home and she had these ( live birth)

KInda cute little guys about the size of an earth worm 3-4 inches long

 

[coura]

Sooooo cute I think they are indeed dekay´s but Im not snake expert. If they prove to be dekays dont forget to go get some nice small earthworms and slugs

 

[Louie]

I agree no expert here either but they look like the common Dekay's I saw in Upstate NY .

Slug eaters which is what can make them a pain.

After it rained once I saw like 100 slugs that you could feed to those guys.

They should accept worms just as readily as slugs, and they're usually easy to find. Just make sure you don't collect them from areas with lots of pesticides, and don't buy bait worms. Other than that, these guys are easy-peasy. Just make sure you dont smoosh 'em, theyre so tiny!
