    Need a little more info. It depends on the size of the snake and the size of the worms.
    Worms as a rule travel fast through the digestive system.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Take a picture with a pencil, it can give a relative size.

    Re: to much?

    I'm posting this photo for the member(greene)
    http://www.snakesandfrogs.com/scra/snakes/dekay.htm

    Looks like a Storeia dekayi-Brown snake. Not a garter but welcome and loved here on the forum.
    Member "infernalis" is our resident dekayi expert. I'll give him a call and see if he'll take a look at the thread and give some advice about feeding.

    Re: to much?

    That does look very much like a Dekayi..

    Any chance of getting a cleaner picture, I would like to make sure it's not a pregnant female.

    Since this is the peak of breeding season, chances are if it's female she could very well be gravid. (pregnant)
