Sorry to say this bigdaddy, but it depends on how large the "small feeder fish" are and how large your valley garter is. You might offer a 24" snake two to four 2" feeder fish at a time. Then feed it every other day or every third day. Of course, this isn't a rule... just a guideline. If you can't see a visible lump in the stomach, then go ahead and feed more. Big lumps are perfectly fine. Just feed them less often if they have a big lump. Wait a day or two to feed them again after the lump disappears if you're feeding fish.

I hope this helps, but if we're talking about small 1/2" feeder guppies that means one thing, and if we're talking about small 2" rosie reds, it means something else. Best,
Rick
