    There is no need to worry about experimenting with different foods.... as long as they are suitable foods. Try the salmon, also trout. It may even accept pinky parts straight off, worth a try.

    Plain, raw salmon is a good starting point. Although I find my Garters take trout more enthusiastically, other people may have other opinions, but I use trout a lot.

    Orange speckling is often indicative of ordinoides (Northwestern).
    I have found ordinoides eat a higher percentage of worms than many other Garters.
