Re: Worms
Your 12-14" garter will probably do fine on about 6 worms per week. Here's a general rule of thumb: You want to see a visible lump/bulge in the stomach area after the snake has eaten. I imagine that your snake will eat about 1.5 worms (depending on their size) per feeding given its size (maybe more, maybe less). Then feed it every day or every other day because worms are mainly water and low on nutrition. The feces is going to be really frequent and smelly if you're making worms a large part of your snake's diet. The feeding frequency will decrease if you switch to fish or meat and after your snake reaches maturity. Be sure to put A LITTLE calcium powder on those worms about once every 2-3 weeks. If you stick with worms when your snake is larger, you will feed it more worms per serving. Please remember that this is a polite forum. Best,
Rick
