I observed something interesting while feeding Abby today.
I noticed she has problems with full sized night crawlers, so I gathered some small worms to offer her.
She touched them with her nose, then proceeded to wipe the slime off on the paper towel substrate!

I thought I had accidentally got one of the 'red' worms that are no-no's so later I cut a night crawler into quarters (Each section a bit over an inch long.) and put the pieces into a shallow glass dish.

She pounced with on a section, gobbled it down, then spent a minute or so cleaning up by wiping her mouth and head on the substrate! She refused to go after any more of the worm, I suspect because the dish is now full of slime and worm guts.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? Is a quarter of a large nightcrawler a sufficient meal for an 11 inch garter?
