Looking for captive bred DeKay’s brown snakes!

Been trying to message I'm not sure if it is working, But i was interested in contacting you about possibly adopting a brown snake if possible because I've been looking for months and was referred here by a reddit user

I still have plenty. 5x more 2019 babies and about 12x 2020 babies. The 2020's are getting bigger(4-5 inches long, 1/8 inch wide) but still would require someone dedicated to get smaller worms for them. The 2019's are about twice that size and can eat the normal size worms you'd easily find in your backyard.
I've found a few sites for shipping through that I have successfully sent some snakes to people with so far.

I know it's been a month, but do you still have any of your captive bred dekay's brown snakes that you're willing to give away? If so, is there anyway that I can contact you to ask some questions about it?

Does anyone know where you can find CB Dekay’s brown snakes? I really want one of these little guys but can’t find anyone who has them. Please help if you are able!!!

I have been looking everywhere. We are doing reptile shows starting back in the spring and I really want to add these amazing guys to our educational show. I am a very experienced keeper, and also run a small rescue. We take very very good care of our animals and all our sweet scaly babies have bioactive setups, and we have done lots of research. If you have any dekays you can part with we really would love to have several of them. Male and female or 1 male and 2 females. Or if you will have any by spring 2021 would also be good. We are very well equipped to take care of babies, juveniles, or adults. If u could get back with me, by email I would really appreciate it. Nlefoy@gmail.com. I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi David, I’m interested. Would you please message me? I can’t find the button to PM you. Thanks.

David, what varieties of worms can the little ones eat? Would something like black soldier fly larvae work?

No insect larvae. I just find small common earthworms and/or grey worms that I dig up. You can gauge the size of the worm seeing the size of the snake. Something like 2 inches long and not too fat is what I give them currently.

Please stop messaging me for Dekay's. I do not have anymore. I won't be getting more.

Hahaha. They were great beginner snakes for me but I've moved on to bigger and better(in my opinion) snakes and other reptiles/amphibians. After about 3 years of digging up 50 earthworms every other day I got a little tired of that. It's so much easier having a snake I can thaw a mouse/rat for.

Disregard my earlier post mentioning red wigglers, apparently they can be toxic depending on their diet. In other news, larger DeKays will sometimes eat small tadpoles or larval salamanders.

[ClockwerkBonnet]

Good gravy, guys. He said there aren't any more. That's that.

[oddnie]

Yeah I posted before seeing everything, sorry

Highly interested in this snake should others become available? Please let me know if more come up in the future.
