I went snake hunting last week, and kept one of the pregnant mothers in a pillow case over night, and when I woke up, the next morning there were 13 baby water snakes wriggling around. 2 of them were still in their egg sacks. So I decided to let the mom go, and keep the babies.

Long story short, can anybody give me tips on how to care for them? If so, that would be great. I have been giving them rosy red minnows, but I have no idea which ones have eaten or not. Most of them start "running" when I look at them. I need some help, please!

Cheers,
