Hello. I'm kind of new to keeping garters, and snakes in general... And I'm wanting to switch my garter over from minnows to pinks... But the problem I'm having is this...

I don't have the intestinal fortitude to cut the pinks into pieces, or handle them, once they have been. I have no problem with the whole ones, though.

I've looked all over, and I'm unable to find an answer to this...

How long/big around should a garter be, before you start trying to feed it whole pinks?

Any help in this would be much appreciated.
