Here Fishy Fishy! Feeding our Salt Marsh Snakes

We recently acquired a trio of mangrove salt marsh snakes (Nerodia clarkii compressicauda), a small semi-arboreal, semi-aquatic colubrid native to the coasts of southern Florida. They are piscivorous, meaning strictly fish eaters, and ambush predators. You’ll see a couple failed attempts before success—it’s pretty obvious watching them that like with many snakes, their sight is not too keen. Interestingly, the species name “compressicauda” means compressed/flattened cauda/tail—it refers to their specialized tails that enable them to swim more effectively.
