    Re: I found an albino.

    That's a possibility.
    Although, I haven't seen any signs of it like cloudy eyes or temporary fading colors on the snake.

    Thanks, I forgot about guppies.
    The thing is.. I've never had success with guppies.
    One time, I bought some and not one of the snakes that I wanted to eat the guppies ate them.
    (I even tried multiple times.)
    In fear that they would die if I didn't use them, I was forced to feed them to one of my snakes that would eat the largest variety of the bunch.

    They aren't really cheap here, about 2.50$ each here. (If I remember right..)
    Which may make it hard to feed it if that is all it ends up wanting.

    Not the same. Night crawlers are large, these are small and lightly colored. Looks under boards, rocks and leaf litter.

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

    Different scent. Sometimes when night crawlers fail, earthworms succeed. Here's what they look like.

    You've got to have things in the area to turnover.

    Thanks for that extra information.

    Here's an amazing update. I just got the albino to eat a nightcrawler piece!

    That is great. See if you can get a few more pieces in. Any updated photos?

    You should still try to get some of those worms.

    Re: I found an albino.

    My last feeding attempt was yesterday. It might have been ready then, but I might have scared it.

    It seems to really like the nightcrawlers. (It ate more pieces..)

    Thanks Steve, I will go looking for those different worms soon. It might spark some interest in some of my non eaters.
