I caught this snake on the side of the highway since I knew it was inevitable that it would get hit soon so I decided to rear it. I had snakes before but they were a baby corn snake and a ball python both of which feed on mice. The problem with this guy is that he is pretty small and I doubt he could dislocate his jaw enough for a little pinkie so I decided to feed him some crix (god how I have grown to hate the late night "music" although I must admit the crix are kinda cute). Although the number of crickets have gone down I think it was just the crickets eating each other. I had put no food in for them since I expected them all gone rather fast but now that they are still around I put in some dog food and they seem to be keeping steadily at around 5-7 crickets ( I haven't taken the time to fully count them all ). Attached will be some pictures, could it be that this species doesn't feed on crickets? I doubt it is venomous but this thing sure is aggressive. What is it with Florida and aggressiveness?
