try feeding it a day after it sheds (it's about to - see its eyes?).

That looks like a valley garter, thamnophis sirtalis fitchi. He is getting ready to shed. His eyes will clear up and he will shed 2 to 3 days after that. He will be ready to eat then.

not really, just a large enough water bowl for him to soak in if he wants to.
