    Re: Feeding suggestions?

    I had the best luck with baby night crawlers, hatchling size night crawlers are usually under rocks, scraps of wood, etc.

    Re: Feeding suggestions?

    That might be an option for me in a week or two, since I just got a worm-bed started up.
    On the bright side, the weather warmed up again tonight and there were plenty of slugs out and about, so she's back in the deli cup with some more appropriately sized slugs. She's been watching these more intently, so I'm hopeful...

    She ate one!
    And she's eyeballing a second one right now.

    I think my garters have me spoiled. I start getting paranoid if a snake takes longer than two seconds to throw itself onto anything edible.

    Glad she's taken one. Remember as well that she's had a move fairly recently (is it about a week since you got this girl from your dad?).

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

    lol Actually I've only had her since Saturday, but they'd had her about a week where she didn't eat. She was starting to look a little sickly, which is why I was getting worried.

    If she was a garter we'd all be pointing out that they can take a few weeks to settle after a move.
    Did she just eat the one or did she manage more?
