I don't think garters are able to handle the beaks n feet n feathers the way bigger snakes are designed too... I'll stick to pinkies.

Re: Interesting article concerning day old chicks
There could be potential impaction issues and, although they have been reported as eating the occaisional bird in the wild, they are not the main component of any Thamnophis' diet by a long stretch. I would err on the side of caution with this one. I lost a snake that managed to plug her stomach with a piece of salmon before, nevermind something as solid as a bird's beak or leg.

Re: Interesting article concerning day old chicks
Shame because their incredibly cheap compared to mice I suppose a dead snake isn't worth the savings though
