new babys

[Zigmund]

I just got three red-sided garters on july 30th.I've gotten 1 to eat so far
Any advice on the other two.
I've already tried worms and guppies.
the one that ate had 2 guppies

Hi Zigmund, and welcome to the forum. For now, just keep trying, they'll most likely eat once they're settled in. Keep us posted though.

Put the guppies on a small dish, so they splash a little. This movement usually triggers them.

Congrat's on the new ones. I agree with the others advice. Leave them live fish in the water bowl, it usually gets their attention.

welcome.....

Welcome aboard, Zigmund.

Howdy and welcome Zigmund. Sounds like a lot of good advice so far. Do you have all three together? I know I had to seperate the good eaters from the bad, 'til I got them eating. The good eaters.....well ate REALLY well and kind of "bullied" the others from the food. I know others have had luck with keeping groups together, the others stimulating the non-eaters to eat, but seperating them definitely helped me. Good luck with them.

thanks everybody i'll put a couple in a dish and watch what happens

[Ameivaboy]

if they are housed together be careful of "food fights" I have to separate all my babies when it's feeding time (with over 20 baby snakes it can be a real headache but it's needed)

[Zigmund]

I do.I've read about those on other websites
