    No meal worms, no crickets. No arthropods of any kind.

    Try feeding your garter chopped up canadian nightcrawlers or small feeder guppies.

    I've gotten Tiny, who is about that size, to eat tiny fish bits. But he seems to like chopped-up nightcrawlers best.
    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

    I use chopped night crawlers for small snakes and babies.

    Baby worms or chopped up worms work well with babies. Good luck!

    The care sheet is an awesome read and will give you many food options.
    It would really help if we knew what snakes you have. Any chance you can post a photo?
