Re: Garter Wont eat

Nightcrawlers are a great idea to get your snake started eating. Eventually (not right away), you'll want to add vitamins and calcium powder to the worms. The first priority is to get the snake eating on its own.

It's also great that you've separated it, but you might also try putting a blanket over at least part of it's enclosure when it's eating, so it can't see you. It'll also feel more secure that way. You might also offer the food, then leave the room right away. I bet, as mentioned, that it's an intimidation/security issue.
