Hi.
I know I know, you have to check out all kinds of info before you buy an animal, but it was just the most beautiful little snake ever, and I had to have it... It is a checkered garter snake (Thamnophis m marcianus), it is really small, have only eaten one time and have shed one time. All the different site I have found only just say, you have to feed with fish and worms, but do I just cut the worms (wich kind ?) into small pieces? and fish into to small pieces?
Hope you can help me, eventhough I'm a biiiiiiiiiip....!

Cheers
Thomas

I have a baby garter, and it loves earthworms. Earthworms two inches or a little more would be a pretty nice meal, and if they're bigger, you can cut them to size. Garters apparently like small fish, i.e. guppies, but I've had the most luck with earthworms. Have fun with him.
