>>DeKay's Brownsnake (Storeria dekayi). They are small relatives of gartersnakes, and feed mainly on slugs, snails, and earthworms.



I just found a pair of babies like this the other day...Odd thing about them is that they are definitely the same specie of snake,but one looks very anerythristic(with patternless looking sides),while the other has a really nice gold/brown/tan/ aztec look.
When I found them,they were huddled together under a piece of plastic in the backyard..They both have had what appears to be their first sheds in the small terrarium they are durrently in.(The sheds were totally clear of pattern,or color.)

Are Dekayi known to be this different in color and markings like this as babies?..(If not,then i may keep and raise them up.)
