Your snakes probably eat slugs and worms, commonly found under cool, moist porch steps. Pillbugs and crickets will also be found under your porch, not sure if snakes will eat them though.

Garters can't digest the exoskeleton's of insects

as Reed said, garters will eat slugs and worms, but cannot digest the exoskeletons. they also eat fish, amphibians, and rodents.

Once, I saw a book titled "Garter Snakes" or something like that. It had a picture of a garter eating a cricket.

Re: I guess I live on a snake nest?

Just a little update.

So it had been about a week since I've last seen them, until I saw them today. That was due at least in part to cool weather, but I was starting to think maybe they had moved out. But today I saw 1 little one and 1 big one, the little one at about 7PM, and the bigger at almost 9PM. I thought snakes were diurnal? Especially since today wasn't all that hot out.
