    Not sure how much calcium they are getting from the silversides, might be a good idea every once in awhile.
    I certainly don't think it can hurt.

    I give chicken hearts every once in a while. I also feed egg. Mostly egg white with a little tiny bit of yolk to make it really pale yellow. A lot of my snakes enjoy salmon omlets every once in a while

    Re: Meat

    Sounds good, I will pick up some supplements next time I'm at the pet store. Do you think I should do just calcium?

    I always forget that they can also eat egg! I tried it when I first got them and both took cooked egg white.

    Re: Meat

    Cheap stuff can contain unwanted chemicals, growth hormones, and other things. Best to stay with as natural a product as possible.
    Keep in mind a garter;s size. It doesn't take much of these chemicals to affect them.
