the second piece was about one third of the rosie. He usually woofs the whole thing down.

Hey Josh,
Sorry to chime in so late, but I'd offer the same advice as Rhea. Garter snakes have a LOT of babies, but very few (percentage wise) reach adulthood. Most are preyed upon, others are born with "defects" that impair digestion, fitness, predatory ability, movement, etc.
It sounds like yours had some sort of natural defect since in the past it has eaten food 3x larger than what you recently offered. I just mention that so that you're not second guessing yourself and afraid to feed the others. Be sure to offer these growing little babies calcium with vitamin D once in a while (at about 2-3 week intervals) just to be on the safe side. Calcium does much more than just grow bones. It is essential for normal heart function, and the vitamin D allows the calcium to be absorbed and metabolized.
I'm pretty sure you already know this, but also don't feed your snakes food that is bigger in diameter than themselves. They're capable of eating food about 1/3 larger than their own diameter, but give yourself a margin of safety. Best,
Rick
