I want a kind of snake that eats crickets and small insects what kind of snake eats that?
Answers:
Get a garter snake. Crickets and worms will do the job.
grass snake
Hello again, Kaisy G. Garter snakes will eat some insects, though usually are content with a diet of small fish, slugs, nightcrawler worms, waxworms, and small mice. The Rough Green snake is sometimes available and it eats crickets %26 other small insects, but they tend to be a bit more delicate than Garters or Corns. I'd go for a Corn if I were you, I think overall they're the easiest of the three to keep.
I have one of the best snakes ever. There is a type of grass snake called a Rough Earth Snake. it eats nothing but crickets and insects, grows to be about a foot long MAXIMUM, and doesn't bite. I have one right now, and it's a wonderful snake. He's very calm and easy to maintain.
they dont eat things like that!how silly?!they only eat rats and mice.if you do get a snake dont never feed him that!you have gotten that confused with lizzards and gekos.snakes only eat mice and rats like i said.and sometimes they will eat a gerbal or a hampster or a bunny but only if they are an adult though.please you need not to feed him that!that is if you decide to buy you one.
blessed be,

Sorry Lord Ashka Darkness, snakes don't only consist of pythons. There are many snakes that is simply to small to feed on mice.
The answer; In South Africa where I'm from we have these cute little snakes called Common Slug Eaters and as per the name, they eat only slugs they also make very cute little snakes not growing over a foot in length. The other option you have is getting a Egg Eater. Yes the have a special "spike" in there mouth that allows them to eat eggs.
If this is the first snake you are going to buy I'd suggest you rather stick to corn snakes and feed them mice. As they are alot more forgiving when it comes to keeping mistakes.
Hope this helps.
There are not many snakes which live entirely on insects. The most commonly available ones in the US are the rough green snake and (occasionally) the smooth green snake.
They're beautiful snakes, but I wouldn't recommend one for your first try at snake keeping. Because they're insect eaters, they can be rather tricky to feed. Unless you really like having to make a trip to the pet shop a couple of times a week, getting calcium/vitamin powder to stick to a bunch of disgruntled crickets, and dealing with annoyed family members when some of the little chirpers stage a jailbreak, you might want to consider a snake with more practical dietary habits. Also, they tend to be very skittish and hard to handle -- given the chance, they take off like little green rockets. Because they are very active, they need large cages. Mine is in a 20 tall and really needs more space than that.
I'd recommend a corn snake. Not a baby -- they sometimes won't eat -- but a yearling. Make sure you get one that's eating frozen. Then you just need to thaw out a frozen mouse of the proper size (you can get them in multi-packs either mail order or from your pet shop), warm it up (put it in a baggie in hot water), and put it in the food dish. Corn snakes are docile, remain a convenient size, and have been bred in many interesting colors.
By the way, for the misinformed individual who thinks snakes only eat mice or occasionally rats: There are snakes that eat almost anything except plants. Among the various species of snakes are species which eat worms, fish, slugs, eggs, other snakes, amphibians, lizards, insects, and, of course, nearly every size of mammal.
