new to small snakes

RadioactiveDude Jan 07, 2006 12:09 AM

Hi everyone,
I just transferred my Mexican Black Kingsnake to his/her new cage. So I have an empty 10 gal tank. I was thinking of getting a small, calmer than MBK, that feeds on pinkies or fuzzies snake; that can be cept in a simple enclosure.

Is there such a snake? If not sorry for wasting your time.
Thanks in advance!

Many small snakes start off feeding on insects because of there small size and you said you were not allowed insects. Regal ringnecks can eat pinkies as adults. Unless you want something more exotic and hard to find you may be out of luck because most eat insects. My mind is a little blank right now, so there may be some that dont eat insects but i cant think of any that arent rare.

for some reason i thought you said you couldnt have insects well you didnt say that so i guess you can.
Well then Garter snakes, Regal ringneck snakes start off on insects or guppies and will eat pinkies as adults.
Someone else here will be able to help you better, because my mind is blank for some reason.

Cool, corns are always a great snake to get. You can never just have one though.
