GaiusIuliusCaesar Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Apep is my northern brown snake, caught him a few weeks ago and just got him situated in a terrarium. Also he's not a baby, brown snakes are small and only grow to about 18 inches max. They are also toothless and mainly eat earth worms and slugs. I adopted him because I destroyed the leaf pile he was living in when I cleaned the yard. This is what he looks like, I tried to make him a pond with plastic wrap and dirt but it doesn't seem to be working out. going to buy him a water dish and some stuff to climb on/hide under.

GaiusIuliusCaesar Posted May 2, 2017 Author Posted May 2, 2017 that pics not showin up. fix it. I wanna see him. and I LOVE the name fixed, also thanks. I was thinking either Apep, Tiamat, or Quetzalcoatl, Apep won out.
GaiusIuliusCaesar Posted May 5, 2017 Author Posted May 5, 2017 A better pic of my snake. I updated his vivarium a little, added in some grass and a pond for him to swim in. Also found a few earthworms and a slug for him to eat.
GaiusIuliusCaesar Posted May 5, 2017 Author Posted May 5, 2017 That aquarium looks reeeeeally familiar. check out what I did with it,
GaiusIuliusCaesar Posted May 5, 2017 Author Posted May 5, 2017 I hope so, I'm trying to make him as comfortable as possible in the hope that he will take the worms I've been giving him. There have to be at least 6 of them somewhere in the dirt of that tank by now. Hopefully he'll nab a few of them. I'm going to try to find more slugs and a few snails, those are really good for them and since they don't burrow into the ground I don't have to worry about Apep not being able to get at them.
Mini_ghost420 Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 yea worms are good if he can get to 'em. get him a big fat garden slug! he'd eat that up!
GaiusIuliusCaesar Posted May 5, 2017 Author Posted May 5, 2017 worms are easy, I just lift up the cobble stones that line my garden and catch a few. I also have log piles, leaf piles, and other places where I can usually find them. Snails I expect will become more common in a few weeks when the plants start to grow larger.
GaiusIuliusCaesar Posted May 5, 2017 Author Posted May 5, 2017 At least he didn't actually get out Yeah I was quite pleased to find him safe and sound under a pile of dirt.
