  • Man how often do you feed your snakes?

  • @rareshmm3 Adult Natrix natrix, every 7 days, hatchlings every 5 days. Anacondas every 4 to 8 weeks.

  • do i need anything special to keep wild grass snakes, what should i feed them ? i always look for them when out and ive kept slow worms before :)

  • @iiBlueCheese They can make difficult captives, their natural form of prey being the biggest obstacle.

  • how long have you had them? have you tried taming them? been succesfull?

  • @SLIZARDS123 I've had them around 2 years now. They are relatively calm when handled, but I keep it to a minimum - like any wild grass snake they will readily musk. Biting isn't a problem, I've been bit once from the female when she was excited by the smell of food. I've never been bitten by a wild grass snake.
