I have two litters of captive-bred Red-Bellied Water Snakes out of my adult trio(all Charleston Co., SC, locale)born on August 1st and August 9th, respectively. I have not sexed any of the babies yet. They are all eating small live
Gambusia(Mosquito Fish), Killifish, small Sunfish or pieces of cut fresh fish from the supermarket meat dept., but once these snakes start accepting cut pieces of fish, it's usually very easy to switch them over to f/t pinkies. The parents are all big, docile snakes that have been used in educational programs and have been handled even by small children, without biting. Contrary to myth, Water Snakes DO become very, very tame and captive-bred animals are even moreso. The mother to the oldest litter is an exceptionally deep red animal, and already many of her babies are "coloring up" much better than most are at this age. I've included a pic of the two litters together(31 in all) as well as the parents. Babies are $5.00 each plus shipping, or make me an offer on the whole batch!

PM or email for more information. Will consider trading multiple babies for adult Northern, Midland, Broad-Banded, FL Green or Diamondback Water Snakes.
