Folks, I have been feeding multiple Dekayi snakes the worms sold in the sporting goods section of wal mart ( I am told they are red wigglers ) for YEARS.

Every one of them is still alive and healthy to this day.

I feed my garters Sliced Salmon, Tilapia, Night Crawlers and pinky mice (Cut up pinky works great for babies)

I don't know what to make of all the red wiggler warnings, so I just stay clear.

But I am not going to change my Dekayi snakes diet anytime soon.

In another day or two, I will have a basic Dekayi care sheet drafted up
