Hello there! I just signed up for this forum and I wanted to ask a couple of questions. First. I have two garter snakes, they are in a, I believe 20 gallon aquarium. They are about 2 feet long each (I got that from measuring their shed skins) Well, I got them because an old roommate of mine decided to catch a garter snake from belle isle and brought it home. She was about 4 feet long. And well, they thought it was a boy until she had about 60 babies! So, as I've always wanted a garter snake, but didn't want to catch one out of the wild, being afraid it would adjust to captivity, so I thought it was a perfect opportunity to keep a couple, seeing as they were born already in captivity. But anyhow, my snakes won't eat anything but worms. I tried to feed them guppies once but they were too lazy to catch them, (The guppies started breeding! )and they don't even look at crickets once. (The specific type I believe I have don't eat mice, we tried to feed them to the mother and she wouldn't touch them) And lately, my slightly bigger of the two (Ninja) doesn't want to eat (Oh, I feed them separately too, I have a little five gallon I transfer one or the other over to for feeding.) And I am afraid of them biting me. I used to pick them up all the time and they've never shown any signs of aggression until a few months ago. I picked one up (Monster, the smaller of them) and he snapped around and tried to bite me! I dropped him in shock, though I was sitting on the floor so he only fell about 4 inches, but now I'm afraid to handle them at all! I use a bent hanger and get them to crawl onto and then support their back end so I don't hurt them to move them into the feeding cage. (Oh, they are about 3 years old by the way) Is there any advice, or am I just hopeless and a wuss?
