Adventures of A Herp Lover: Northern Brown Snake!

The Northern Brown snake is basically a really small garter snake, it is an insectivore, eating earth worms mainly. I've never seen an aggressive one, they never bite. This is an adult, but it is on the small end size wise. (9-12" full grown, this one is about 8 1/2")
My dad ran over him/her with the lawn mower by mistake, thankfully he/she received no injuries. :)
This is going to be my newest addition, as long as it eats well, which I believe it will based on my prior experience with this species.

how do u get them to eat

@jarvis7366 :

They will only eat WILD earth worms/snails/slugs, as far as I can tell from the ones I've dealt with, so they are really not the best choice for a captive snake.

Do you think wax worms will work?

@TropicalFishAuction :

No, only worms and possibly snails and slugs.
