Those are really cute snakes. I'm sure finding food for them will work out. You could attract slugs by growing lettuce. Pick a shady, cool, spot and keep the dirt moist (can grow in a pot). The slugs will appear like magic. A pond supply store will often sell snails (cheaply, unlimited quantities). They are shipped live. Just ask about the average size. Specialty aquatic stores may sell snails, too, but they will probably be more expensive so I'd use them for breeding. Do a little research to find easy, fast-growing/reproducing ones of the right size that eat algae. Mine stay small but live in a large glass bowl with some aquatic plants. They were multiplying well until I moved the betta in with them. They prefer the algae as food so need no care but bright light is necessary. Food for algae eaters might also work. Good luck! Keep us posted on those beauties of yours!
