Feeding the Snake

This morning I checked out Slimey’s container and found what looks to be a shriveled up worm at the bottom. I can’t find evidence of the other worm or the slug anywhere… though I didn’t go rifling through all the leaves to find them.

Question. Did the earthworm I introduced to the container simply shrivel up and die in 24 hours? Or did Slimey ingest the thing and then excrete (nice word) the carcass? I have no idea.

What I need is a control. Tonight I will find two worms, stick one in with Slimey and one in a separate container. Checking both in 24 hours should tell me what’s going on.
