lol next time why don't you just feed her 3 fuzzies? cheaper that way:D

[BeardedIggy]

oh well the pinkies were for the other snakes but they weren't eating them and i didnt want them to go to waste so i fed them to the female

Best to keep the fuzzies for other snakes. Garters have a tough time digesting fur. Like, I *think* they don't... Not postive, but I think that's what I've read here.

Watch your female; that's a LOT to get down at once. Now's not the best time of year - due to snakes naturally slowing down, if they they don't brumate - to fill a snake up like that.

Make sure you've got good warm temps for her to gravitate to so she can digest that huge meal.

Smaller meals, on a more frequent basis, are better than huge meals.

o well... in that case lol glad you found a use for them lol:D

Most of my females do well with fuzzies. :o

Both of my adults, male and female, pound fuzzies with no ill effects. Sly's main diet for at least a year has been fuzzies... pinkies when I run out of fuzzies... and the occasional live fish. My fuzzies aren't really very fuzzy, tho, so who knows :)

Ms. Ella hasn't been here very long, but has been eating like there's no tomorrow! I don't know if she's bulking up for winter or what, but I swear she'd eat everyday if I let her. She makes me feel guilty every day :)

its so cool to watch the snakes eat the way they will lick it 5 times and say "hey that tastes like fish" then open their mouth and grab hold and slowly shove it down.
