Wondering what baby wild snakes eats? I mean, there can't be new born pinkies ready available for them. Surely they eat other things when they are first born.

I ran over this baby black racer with the lawn mower. It was limp and bleeding out the mouth. I just put it in a container and finished cutting grass. When I came back it was alive and well. Well, it had a crooked mouth and a cut on it's left side of it's face. Probable a baby of the one I caught and released earlier this year.

Some baby snakes will eat insects, then graduate to lizards and mice and a few other things. I bet he would eat crickets.

Newborn lizards, lizard eggs, newborn pinks, crickets, grubs, smaller snakes and ground nesting birds, their eggs and their chicks.

Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

Thanks John and Ross. I will try some pin head crickets and maybe dig up some grubs in the yard.
