Re: i need help on getting my garters to eat fish

Hey CC,
I had a garter doing the same thing. Would eat worms all day but nothing else. One day I took a pinky and put it in with the worms, and rubbed the worm on it for a bit. The snake took little time hitting it. You might also try cutting up the fish, and cutting the worms into small pieces and mixing them together. The snake will taste the worm and fish, and then put less worms in the mix until the snake cooperates. I've had luck with that also, but it takes some patience. One thing I can tell you is the "if it gets hungry enough it will eat anything" slogan, hasn't work for me in the past. Good luck, and keep us posted

Mike
