OK IM SO HAPPY!MY girl garter finally(5 days) ate today at 10:30pm i was out collecting worms and slugs for the baby dekay's and I figured I'd attempt to feed the garter so i put 6 worms in a tiny dish and put it in her cage one worm was about to crawl out of the dish and i was about to take it out but then she shot over and BOOM! she gobbled it up and looked for more in her it was she was like a whole new snake,she wasn't even shy and scared that i was there when usually she'd be shooting around her cage like a tornado, so long story short SHE ATE!!!!so thank you so much everyon like steve,don,Le Ann,rhea,Rob,GarterGeek, and many more

CONGLATURATION ! ! !

You prooved the justice of our culture.

Now go and rest our hero!

Ah, I remember the first time I saw my snakes eating, almost like it was just a few days ago....

Oh, wait. It was just a few days ago. Never mind.

Anyway, seeing my big green one swimming around the water dish, chasing minnows, and later, seeing my little red one eating minnows in the bottom of a bucket... it was a tremendous feeling. Both relief (because now I know they're eating) and pride. I've got a new one I'm going to try feeding in a day or so.

I remember mine and her first feeding. and the attempts before it.

I put the small travel carrier in her enclosure with some fish in it.. She went into it and sat there then played dead rolling over in the water not moving.

stubborn girl.. Then I grabbed some tongs and waved the fish in front of her while she sat in my wife's hands and she started going crazy snapping 4 fish out the air.

That is also the day I learned not to handle her after feeding.. regurgitated fish isn't so cool..
