    Fish Feeding Suggestion

    Many of us use fish fillet to feed our snake.
    Anyone using it to feed babies has take the time to cut very small pieces only to have a baby grab a mouthful and spread it all over the enclosure.
    The problem is the fish is sticky.
    I've found an easy fix for this problem. Give the fish a spray of water before you feed it.
    The water will keep the pieces separate and keep the snakes from spreading it into the enclosure.
    If you are mixing food(fish & worms, worms & pinky parts) this water also helps spread the scents.
    Many of you probably do this but I had never seen it posted.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.
