Whenever we feed our snakes, one of us watches over the process until completed.

The best way to feed fish is to place a few small Rosie reds in the water dish, generally the snakes suck them down like snacks.

Do you supplement your garters diet with any worms? night crawlers and pan-fish worms are available at wal mart.

Our garters eat fish and worms, "Spot" our checkered garter is getting so big, I am going to scent a pinky with fish, and start converting him over.

Whenever yo buy feeder fish, look at the tank at the store, if it is scummy, has any dead fish in it or ANY of the fish have open sores, black specks or any obvious signs of illness, DON'T buy any of those fish, find another store.

Glad the snake pulled through for you.

Happy Easter,
