I think those are red worms. Very bad for garter snakes. They are raised in manure and compost.
Can you post a photo?

I don't know. Sounds like a type of compost worm, judging by the name.

I Googled but couldn't find them!

Here. Read this description of Red Wigglers and see if it matches. If so, then ditch them.

If you can, see if there is a scientific name on the container. That can give you a good idea what you're actually dealing with. With a scientific name, you can check Google, Wikipedia, and get more detailed info, or even post it here, and our resident experts can tell you more.

Walmart carries Nightcrawlers (big earthworms) id go with that. They also have trout worms, AKA red worms, very toxic to garters. Big no no.

The Wal-Mart where I'm at carries Panfish Worms, Trout Worms, and Red Wigglers - aren't they all pretty much the same creature?

I just get Nightcrawlers. I know what they are, and the snakes gobble them up.

Well, not so much lately - for some reason, Little Dude and Scarlett have both stopped eating regularly. Neither of them seems ready for a shed, either.

They carry both? Mine have the panfish/trout worms, and when i asked here, people said they were red wrigglers.... Why would they have both?

Yes, all different names for compost worms.
