OMG!!! remember my wild caught red belly snake, yesterday i found out she had some babies in my little tank..... thats so fun!!! total 6 babies, and one is dead while he came out but rest 5 stay cool... wut bothers me is donno wut to feed those babies,lol.... there mom is good with the small slugs but babies too small... check it out, plz HELP......
Put a small waterbowl in and try feeding them tiny guppied. Try to catch a real small worm and then break it into peices. The babies should be able to eat a tiny peice of earthworm, just make sure it is moving so the snake gets attracted to it.

Try the red worms , or, and we're gona get a bit nasty here... Maggots , or if you prefer, house fly larva, worked for me with ringers and red bellies. Don't handle them too much, they will die of stress, quickly. Rock on, Blue

You know once they get a little bigger you might want to start feeding them small guppies in a nice sized water dish so they can swim around to get them (that'll probably be a cool thing to watch).
