Personally, I don't use UVB lighting for my Garters, Tori. I don't think they need it. I know that some others disagree. It certainly can't do any harm, especially if they have plenty of hides and can get away from it if they want to.

I think a good, varied diet is very important.... I use as many known 'safe' fish varieties as I can get, pinky mice, earthworms and occasional amphibians. I try to offer four different prey items every week.
