I wouldn't feed my garters anything that is so un-natural such as beef or pork. It's not something they would normally be eating. I can't see justification in feeding those things when there are plenty of other readily available and more natural sources of food for our snakes. Fish, worms, and small rodents are all things that are both plentiful and inexpensive for us to acquire and are natural prey items of garter snakes and when you mix up the three, there really is no need at all to use beef or pork.
