Take the pinky, cut off the front legs, if the snake is real small cut off all 4 legs and pinch the head to make it smaller, then take a fish net and scoop up a bunch of rosies in it, pull the net out of the water, put the pinkie in the net, let the rosies flop around on the pinkie for a 30secs or so, then grab the pinkie with a forceps or your CLEAN fingers if you don't have forceps, put the fish back in the water, then slowly place the pinkie an inch or so in front of the garter, ideally in front of the hide hole without disturbing the snake, then walk away and leave the snake undesturbed for several hours or overnight ideally. Try this, bet the garter will take it.

Thanks have a few frozen pinkies left will try it in week as garter ate today and want to try it when he is hungry.
The rosy reds come out of yard pond so easy enough to try .
