    Yeah...just try wetting it a bit. Try giving her a little fresh fish later and some more pinky with it. Then try again Saturday if she won't eat today...sounds like a good plan. She'll eat it eventually...especially if she was trying to eat the fish already.

    So her biting the fish was a good sign ? even though the pieces she did pick she threw out her mouth literally.

    Well...I guess the fact that she threw them out of her mouth wasn't so great...she probably thought they were pinky and then spit them out when she realized it was not. I forgot about that part. But give it time. She isn't used to it...she tasted it and it was like..."This is not what my food tastes like...what the heck is this stuff?"...so she spit it out. That's a natural first reaction to having something new introduced. In time she will learn to appreciate it for what it tastes like and then she will discover she actually enjoys it.

    I always like my snakes reaction to a new food item.
    They rush to take what I offer. Once they grab it they stop swallowing/moving and just sit there with their mouth open.
    It's like they're thinking, "what the hell"
    Funny, funny stuff.

    See I think jade is weird because If I put something in her tank she does not go for it at all I literally have to puck her up and place her at the food until she bites at it. what does this mean ?

    You need to be more patient with her.
    If a garter snake is hungry you won't need to lead them to the food.

    Have you tried leaving the food in over night?
    I have some snakes who will only eat when no ones around.
    Some even want to only eat from under their hide.
