Baby care?

How's the best way to go about freezing them? Just put them in a container and pop 'em in the freezer?

[ConcinusMan]

I would put them in a plastic bag so that they are not touching each other and just put them on a shelf in the freezer.

Gotcha thanks.

Can light get into this feed box?

You said it was black.

Can light get into this feed box?

You said it was black.

It's solid black, with a clear lid. I cover it up so that's not a problem.

[infernalis]

You got me wrong, you want the light.

Garter snakes are diurnal, they don't commonly feed in the dark

Why do people say to put it somewhere dark and leave him alone?? You're saying that I shouldn't make it dark?? Everyone else has said the opposite! You're the first to say that!! But I'll try it. Thanks.

[RedSidedSPR]

Maybe I should put him in a clear container?

[ConcinusMan]

Maybe "dark" was the wrong word. Not dark necessarily but a closed in and "safe" spot like a hide. Wherever the snake doesn't feel exposed and vulnerable. Wherever the snake feels safe and secure.

Placing food right at the opening of your snake's favorite place to hide sometimes will get them to take it, and they'll usually pull it into their hide to eat it. Of course, you have to do this in a way that ensures they won't swallow substrate. Bite sized pieces that they can swallow fast helps keep them from getting substrate on their food.

Except than he'd get aspen on it. I may buy some reptile carpet for that reason.
