"Some bait worms (Eisenia, sold as "red wigglers") are toxic, so pieces of the larger night crawlers (Lumbricus terrestris) are best for small snakes." - The Garter Snakes: Evolution and Ecology by Rossman, Ford, and Seigal

This is a pretty definitive source, so don´t go there. Stick to the nightcrawlers to feed your Thamnophis.
