Re: Garter Wont eat

You will need to feed nightcrawlers, not red wigglers. You can get them from the garden, but you must be VERY careful that pesticides are never applied on that parcel of land, and never drift over on the wind from the neighbor's yard.

I usually get mine from the bait store, where I know they have a good history of selling me wholesome, healthy, bait animals (minnows and nightcrawlers).

If you are feeding a snake too small to eat a whole nightcrawler, then use a pair of old scissors. Wash the scissors and cut the nightcrawler into small sections... they will still eat it.
