slugs--NO-poisonous ......?..///..no they aren't...people and garters eat them???no? yea?



bugs---NO-and you could be more specific ...///.ant larvae?...



earthworms--NO-no milks eat worms .....???..///..corns have, I bet milks would, I will try on the OC tempos...



lizards --some, very difficult to work with..///..frozen skinks are not difficult to keep alive...



small mammals --most WC adult Easterns wont eat domestic rodents ..../// PA ones will usually....(and if not....I got peromyscus,domestic ones)



birds --Milks are found underground, not sure how many birds are found there,lol. good luck finding appropriate sized babies. ....

YOU ,me and everyone else in the world almost never found an eastern milk underground...basements don't count...you'd have to be digging....wait...a guy I knew dug one out of his sand box in winter....25 degrees and just burried in some sand....he left it go above ground in the snow...duh...anyways....I gotta try quails....wait...I don't have any easterns....



eggs -in theory yes, but not in practice due to the size issue .///..size issue???....you telling him he can't feed eggs to a 4 foot monster eastern milk?...finches....aaaah...



frogs --young milks will eat them due to their feeding response some adults will take certain species. ///...I'd have to see this...



fish -Never ....///baby corns have been listed as eating guppies...more than once...



snakes -again some. They will feast on brown, red belly and greens. Ringnecks can be poisonous. Garters and waters musk usually scares milks off...except babies. Hard and $$ to get in quantity.

................seen racer with a ringneck sticking out of it after car cut it open....squished...



...........



I didn't hit on the list.....I am going to try little worms for real....why not....shoving tails sucks enough....they didn't eat the pink parts yet or the peromyscus parts...thought one would hit the peros'....(and I got 6 more to try soon as they shed out...)....ouch....



.....easterns usually eat some mouse product here for us.....the male the cops brought me slammed all the mice fuzz I would give him....only had him a couple weeks....he's out in the wood now....



,.......have fun....!,...what's cooking Jeffrey?....(*egg wise).///
