In the past, we've been able to keep garter snakes alive with crickets for food. No one has mentioned crickets. Why? The snakes and the crickets live in the snake cage and the snakes enjoy the feeling that they are hunting for their live food. We've also been able to keep frogs and toads alive with these same crickets which we buy from PetSmart. They are a ready source of live food, year-round.
This science project is not due until next December but we are trying to investigate the feasibility of this experiment now in case she has to look in another direction for a project.
