platies and xipho for gartersnakes

[Geo]

Hello everybody,
I would like to know if the platies and Xipho are good for thamnophis. (I think yes because there are from the same family of guppies). Can you confirm that?
Thank you.

Hello Geo,

Guppies, Platies and Mollies are good to get non feeders back to food, but they should not be basic food.

I always took the time and effort to stock up on Pacific Chorus frogs and various tadpoles. Very abundant at the right time of year and location.(not a coincidence that garters were also abundant at that time and location) The frogs and tadpoles keep quite nicely if frozen first, then sealed inside a food saver vacuum sealed bag. To know your snake is to know it's prey and stock up when and where prey is abundant!

probably not in Belgium

generally mild, maritime climate characterized by many days of grey and/or rainy weather but not a single edible amphibian in the spring/summer? That sucks.

Thank you for your answers.

I use small Platies and guppies to get babies to start feeding but as was mentioned before I try to get them off those and on to other things ( in my case that is rodents) as soon as possible.

I need a girl who used cute up worms and snails to feed her snakes, I've helped her find them. But that's all I know for feeding.
