Hello, I am new to the Garter Snake Forum and I have a question. Snakey is about three months old (I think... not really sure). He is about 10 inches long. I've been feeding him rosy red minnows. He went about 1 day without any food and then I went out and bought 14 minnows. After only a couple of minutes he went to the water dish and attacked and ate one. Then only about five minutes later he was back at it eating another one. And then he ate a third one before I went to bed... when I woke up I counted the fish and there are two more missing. So he ate five fish in about 15 hours.

Is that normal? Is my snake going to become overweight? Should I take him for a walk or something? I am only joking... but it seems like he is eating a lot. Is there something wrong with my snake?
