    Re: feeding

    it depends on the size of the pinkies
    the garter I have that's about that size, I feed 1-2 large pinkies every five days and that seems to be about right
    I give her two, but she doesn't always eat the second one

    My male (65cm) gets one 4-6g mouse (average around 5g) every 7 days. Newborn pinkies weigh about 1g, week-old ones 2g.

    I give my young one's an 'all you can eat' (normally fish, but afterwards also pinkies) meal once a week.
