I had the most success with a 10 gallon tank with the following layout: an inch or so of potting soil at the bottom,leaf litter in a corner,a brick( be sure that the soil is high enough that the snake won't get squished) a tupperware(not GLAD container)lid for water,and I've been thinking about planting grass around the waterdish for my new snake once I get another tank(PLEASE don't ask).

Oh, and I feed my Earth Snakes pillbugs and earthworms. I've heard that they eat the little crickets that you would normally feed frogs as well as slugs and earthworms, but I have no experience with any of these-I suggest that you try feeding your snake earthworms and pillbugs.
