brown snakes

Question
QUESTION: i was wondering how i should take care of my brown, feeding, housing, etc? and how should i offer it food
ANSWER: Hi forrest
Brown Snakes, first of all, are not very desireable pets. They often take a while to begin eating and do not adjust well to being handled, often musking on the the holders hands. I would suggest trying slugs and snails.  They actually love to eat those as much as earthworms. You might also want to cut back on the daytime light to keep the humidity/moistness up in his cage.  (They spend alot of time burrowed in the wild, searching for prey such as worms and slugs.) The general temperature ranges are variable, ranging anywhere from the low 70's to the high 90's. They are very hardy snakes, and can live long lives if cared for properly. The humidity should be kept at a moderate level, maybe 30-60%. You didn't mention if he was wild caught and if so there is the chance of him having intestinal parasites.. If he doesn't eat within the next couple of weeks I would suggest letting him go back into the wild. Hope all this helped.
