    I would be very leary of a guy selling snakes he feeds goldfish to. He might not be the most knowledgable about their care.

    not only that
    I think they're a bit pricey considering they're not spectacular

    that artical looks like it is through a company. so if a reptile company is selling garters that they are feeding on goldfish then they shouldn't be aloud the care of these snakes.

    I agree, the snakes already most likely have problems being feed the goldfish, and are way pricey, but good heads up any way Reed thanks...

    Re: found this on kingsnake

    Juvie garters can eat goldfish until they get to rodents. Thiaminase is a four letter word around here. I plan on continuing my baby radix and marcianus on them (minnows) until they can get pinkies. Should be about a month from now.

    I'm pretty sure it is the continual feeding of goldfish solely that is warned against.

    The price is a bit much, but they sure would make some nice babies.

    I read somewhere and I can't remember where, but they can have problems, and even die as early as within 4-6 months if Goldfish are sole food source.............

    Garters should not be fed goldfish, at all. They are toxic, and the toxins are cumulative. There is no safe way of feeding goldfish to Garters.
