Andrew and I were wondering if it's better to feed outside of the tank? I've seen lots of pics and videos online of people feeding their garters in plastic tubs. We were planning on doing that also. I know that some species can get "tank aggressive" when fed in their homes. Does that happen with garters?

We're also planning on using a jungle mix substrate. It's kind of a mix of mulch like material and wood chips. I just want to make sure that when feeding there is NO chance of impaction if she were to get some of the substrate on her food. We also have a leoaprd gecko and use tile in his tank for that reason

Anyway, if anyone could give input I'd appreciate it. Or if the substrate we are planning on using isn't the best, please let us know also

Thanks
