Eastern Snakes Forum
[ Reply | Eastern Snakes Forum ]
To ask a question about a snake, don't reply to this post, go to the forum home page and start a new post. Your question will get a lot more exposure. Please give us an idea of where you live, as reptiles can often be identified only by locality!
Please do not place messages about killing a snake, and asking what kind it is you have killed! That is like going onto a message board about dogs and telling about torturing one to death, and asking what kind of breed it was. You will likely get "flamed", and likely by the forum owner, depending on his mood that day.
A note about head shape in snakes: Head shape is a totally useless character for identifying a snake, and has nothing to do with whether the serpent is or is not venomous (poisonous). Many harmless snakes, especially when young, have rather large heads. Please describe color, pattern, markings, and habitat where the snake was found. The shape of the head will not help us in any way.
Thank you.

A locel store has a number of these little guys for sale and I'd like to know more before buying any. I live in California now, but when I lived in Kentucky I caught one of these near a river and it never ate. I'm told by the shop keeper that they eat red worms and small slugs and that they would be suitable in a vivarium style enclosure with long tailed vine lizards, fire bellied newts, assorted small frogs and such. Is this acurate info?
