I got a new friend!

Posted: 9/25/2005 11:20:28 AM EDT

It is my job at church to help lock up after the morning service. I forgot my CamelBack that I carry everywhere so I had to go back in and get it after everyone had left. I found a snake crawling across the floor, so I decided to pick it up and bring it home. Now, how do I keep a snake alive? what do I feed it? how much air does it need?

Its a small green snake about a foot long and .5 inches in diameter. Any Idea on what type?

I m at school and cant get pics, but he looks like a long garter snake that is green if that helps.

Minnows, baby dwarf hamsters, worms..... thats what I fed mine. She was about 3.5-4 feet long when she died, I was in college and not home at the time. She was a cool snake she'd chill out on my shoulder and hang out while I was doing stuff around the house. Or coil around my arm and just chill while I was watching tv and stuff.

I'd suggest turning it loose. If it's a garter snake, they eat pests.
