Hi

Yesterday I went herping to a park near me, where there was supposed to be a pond (the pond dried up from the heat), and I caught a ~2 foot long eastern garter snake. It appears to be an eastern. It is pretty nice sized. I have it in a 24" by 13" rubbermaid enclosure. I have paper towel as substrate, a nice sized water bowl, some driftwood for climbing, a hide box, and a 40W bulb for heat. The snake seems to be pretty skittish, and when I tried tossing a night crawler in today, it just looked at it and didn't attempt to eat it. If I can't get the snake eating, I'm going to take it back to the park. Can someone please help?

Here is a pic of the snake. It musked and bit me when I caught it.
