Okay, I am blatantly ignorant about the care and feeding of snakes of any kind, and it's good that I don't have one yet, because it would suffer horribly as I learned about it. So, learn first, get snake(s) later. The good news is that my kids and I like garter snakes and think they're as cute as can be.

So...what do I feed one? Can I gather some slugs and such from my yard?(please note I do NOT use any chemicals in my yard for any purpose). Is it okay to feed them a mix of commercial and wild prey?

Please help and excuse my ignorance.
