Soooo when I went hiking yesterday. I came across a new find(well atleast for me), I found a ribbon snake. I figured hey maybe I can keep it and feed some of the excess toadlets to it. Even though I don't want to feed toadlets I figured it'd be a good idea like someone else suggested to lower the numbers. I figured I can feed it worms, crickets, and minnows after it consumes a deal of toadlets. I think its a ribbon snake cause it looks like this:

I think its shedding or going to be shedding soon since its eyes are milky white and it was under a large "cabinet"(Yes a cabinet--- people litter where I go...) under the afternoon sun. First try to catch it I was scared of being bit(not well versed with snakes didn't know if it was a poisenous snake or not... still not 100% sure lol. more like 95%), then it got away and into the tall grasses. I went away to look one last time and when I go back to the same place 5minutes later the lil' vermin is in there again lol! So second try I grab it and almost put it in the container but it got out. lol. and into the grasses. Third time I walk away for 5mins and go back in there and it gets out but I noticed the tail... so I tug on it and I finally m anaged to grab it and put it in the container. Currently its in an exoterra. A small exoterra-- but for now itll work since the snake is only 6inch long.
Plus my very first pet snake. c:
