I have not had a snake for many years.  Mostly I had boas, corn snakes, king snakes.  The other day I found a six inch scarlet king snake.  What should I feed it?  It is very tiny.  What is the best substrate?  Will they eat insects?  Which type of insects.  I don't want to try and catch skinks or anoles.  I don't have the stomach to sentence them to death.  I would be willing to buy baby frozen pinkies if needed but due to the snakes small size I wonder if it would be able to eat them.  Ideally I would like to feed it egg yolk or earthworms.  Any help would be appreciated. Any information regarding the care of this beautiful snake would help.

I would like everyone to know that my little guy ate the first frozen (thawed) pinkie that I offered him.   I am really amazed.

What did you feed the critter?
