welcome to the forum....and..what everyone else said...I have good luck scenting pinkies with worms...if they will eat worms. I usually started out with babies..tiny little ones and inch or so long and wrap it around the pinkie..the snake smells the worm, sees the movement and gets both the pinkie and the worm!!! while you are at it.....we love pics on here....
garters don't eat insects, they are unable to digest the exoskeltons....
