    Yeah, but is that a good sign that he still had food inside him? Im still worry about his diet?

    I guess.

    It's been awhile. I would try some other foods. Even frogs.

    Re: Please help me with my garter snake!

    I by no means am trying to tell you what to do but it has been long enough you should consider the possibility that this snake will not adjust to captive life.
    It is no reflection on you or anything you've done but a fact of life with some snakes.
    Some, not many just won't adjust.
    Garter snakes as a rule will adjust and eat like pigs.
    I released a radix once that just wouldn't settle down. He would eat but was obviously under stress.
    Doing what's best for the animal sometimes means not doing what we want to do.
    Just my thoughts.

    The white is urates. If there isn't poop in it, brown, then there is no food left in him.

    I saw some sort of frogs in the petstore. I think it was called clawed frogs. I will buy the smallest one, or else..........

    I don't think a clawed frog will help. I'm not sure if they have any toxins in their skin that could harm your snake.

    If you put it in live I would worry about it harming your snake. From what I've read those claws are what the frogs use to tear apart their food.
