No Lori, they don't kill them (usually) they swallow live.

Re: I am still around

Thanks everyone The coast garter does not seem to have any problems eating the live pinkies, they go down really quickly too. I thought other people on here feed live pinkies to their garters too

Re: I am still around

Hi Jerry!
I just got back from a trip down south for a few days myself.
I feed live pinks sometimes too- I figure there cant be alot of oxygen in a snakes digestive tract, so they die really fast.
Probably just as fast as constriction.
