Hey, I'm a new owner and I was wondering if it's possible to feed a garter snake baby food? Some lizards are able to and I was curious if anyone's tried. On that topic, does anyone know of any other different types of food that have worked for their snake? Thanks in advance!

We're very lucky actually, in the 3 hours we've had the snake, found wild, it's already eating nightcrawlers!

I would not use baby food, if you read the care sheet it will tell you.

Re: Baby Food
Congrats on getting your wildcaught garter to eat a few hours after being in your care, sometimes it takes days.
Definitely do not feed your garter any baby food or other alternatives to what is listed in the caresheet.

Re: Baby Food
Contrary to what you may have heard, baby food is not even suitable for lizards. Too many sugars and other bad things!

Re: Baby Food
Great that you got it to eat so soon...nightcrawlers are a good choice.
