It would be best to release it back into the wild. Do a little research first and find out what species it is first. It might give you some idea of what it eats.

Why dont you let it go.

Try feeding it small mice. It would last pretty long without food as Snakes can sometimes go 6 - 8 months without eating. Not sure how long it will live, but I have had a snake that wasn't over 10 - 15 when I found them good homes before my daughter was born.

you found a garden snake. i had once but i had to let it go because it was not eating crikets neither. so you should let it go because it would not eat.

If it is a brown (tree) snake from Guam it will live for several months without eating with a life expectancy of about 3-4 years. If you're in the continental U.S. I'm unaware of it's life expectancy, but eating habits will probably be about the same.

it could be a dekays snake ( common brown snake) if it is, it will eat worms, slugs, fish and snails and insects. they normally live in leaves on the floor in forests or could live in junk on the floor. they are from the u.s.a and i think they are fascinating snakes. most snakes live for 10 - 20 years but if you were to get a python then it can live up to 40 years old. i don't now how long they will go without eating but normally when they are baby's they will stay without eating until they have shed their skin.
