Re: Introducing Celie and Cedric
wow you guys are great
 i love my garters they are so different from other snakes, they are lightening fast and have a Big personality. im currently feeding them pinky mice, is that ok? its what they were being fed when i bought them but ive been reading that a lot of garter keepers feed them fish and now know its something they eat in the wild. how often should i feed them? they are opportunistic feeders, ive been reading, so does that mean they will eat whenever food is available? dont want to over feed them and make them ill :S thanks for all your help |

Re: Introducing Celie and Cedric
Yes, pinkies are great. It is a very good idea (and it will save you some money) to vary the diet with 'safe' fish such as trout, and earthworms. Fish probably makes up about 60% of my Garter's diet.

Re: Introducing Celie and Cedric
earth worms, ok i bought some earthworms for my pyxie frog and its turned into a bit of a debate if i actually bought what i paid for, these worms look rather reddish in colour, so im not sure if they are a safe food source for my pyxie frog.
  help!!! are these a safe food source for garters? im guessing if they are safe for garters they will be safe for my pyxie too |

Re: Introducing Celie and Cedric
You bought earthworms???!!!
 Hard to tell from the photo, but if they appear banded they're not safe. The ones you dig up in the garden are perfect.
