well, I like to call nightcrawlers garter snake comfort food. Just about any WC garter will take these as a first meal. But then again, I have had garters take f/t as a first meal on the same day as the capture. There's not as much an overall best food for them, as much as it is learning how shy the snake is and it's individual preferences. Some of them are shy and will take days of coaxing. Some of them you can pick up off the ground and they'll eat it on the spot! Females, especially gravid ones, tend to feed a little easier for me.
