Dekay’s Snake
Place of Origin and Range | It is native to Southern Ontario and Quebec, most of the eastern half of the United States, through Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and possibly El Salvador. |
Description | Dorsally, it is brown to grey with a lighter centre stripe bordered by small black spots; ventrally, it is lighter brown or pink with small black dots at the ends of the ventral scales. |
Adult Size | Can grow up to 21in (53cm) |
Accommodation | This snake lives in a variety of habitats including savannah, forest, and rocky hillsides. High humidity(60-80%), branches for climbing. A hide to help regulate temperature along with a day basking spot at 80'F(27'C). Always include a dish big enough for bathing. |
Lifespan | Can live 5+ years |
Feeding / Diet | It eats earthworms, slugs, snails, and most other small invertebrates. |
Breeding | Like other snakes (such as water snakes) this is an ovoviviparous species. |
Other Considerations | Snakes are relatively hardy low maintenance animals when kept in the correct environment, and require little day to day care other than feeding and cleaning out the tank as required. However, like all animals, they can still become sick or injured despite our best intentions to prevent this. |
