Congratulations, Hatchet_man! Way to go!
They are pretty little things, like silver thread.

Diet - They should be feed live insects once or twice a week. Moths, crickets, grasshoppers, spiders and earthworms are a typical Green Snake diet. Soft-bodied insect larvae such as waxworks, butter worms, and mealworms are also good choices. They will also eat, but less easily obtained, flies and spiders. Crickets are best, due to their availability, however, the crickets should be gut loaded with a
special mixture. Do not to leave uneaten insects in the cage. Green Snakes should never be given
food that is wider than their body.
Pinhead crickets take about two weeks to produce if you get some adults and grow your own. I’ve got a large batch now for when my lizards hatch, which is any day now. I have one hatchling lizard I rescued from the cats to whom I have been feeding ants; the ants get on one of our hummingbird feeders, so I just put the feeder in his cage once its got a good supply of ants and he eats them right up. I’m saving my pinheads for when my eggs hatch. Once I have more pinheads hatch I can dispense with the ant trapping.
I envy you that they don’t have to be fed those yucky ft pinkies, just nice clean insects.

ok, let me help you,

1. take the crickets out.

2. the baby green snakes should shed in a few days maybe a week.

3. leave them alone so they can adjust to their enviroment.

4. after they shed introduce them to the pinheads.

good luck you have my utmost respect.
