my cats have brought in like 5 small pink snakes that sre about 5-8 inches long. i have always called them glass snakes. well they killed one and all the other ones i have seen them bring in were ok, and i got to rescue them and let them go... well i was wondering what they eat (because their mouths are so small), and i looked up glass snakes and couldnt find anything. i used to catch them when i was like 8, but i figured they wouldnt eat anything i could catch (crickets or anything else), so i always let them go... does anyone know what they are really called?? and i know this doesnt belong here, but ill post it anyways... and if my cats catch another one ill put up a pic ok... ill more then likely be seeing a lot more, so maybe tomorrow night or later i will see another one...

oh yeah, i forgot to tell you that they are about the diameter of the inside of some air line tubing, but a little bit smaller.... and thats is about as big as they get... i have never seen one over a foot long... and they are snakes, thery have scales and stick out their tongues like a snake... (just telling you so you dont ask if it could be a worm

www.kingsnake.com has forums that might help you a little more than the ones here. The people on www.predatoryfish.net/ibforums also know their snakes a little bit better, so, if you don't get a reply that helps more than this one, you should try there.
