    It's normal. Many captive born ones remain easily scared.

    The time isn't very important.

    Sometimes our garters eat in the morning, sometimes at night and other times in the afternoon, just depends on when I can feed them....

    Once or twice depending on how old the snake is.

    Your snake is fairly young. I would feed it twice a week.

    Every other day would be fine..... Twice a week if you stuff em.

    My baby eastern garters do the "food dance" every day, sometimes I give in and let them have a snack.
