Re: Is it normal for my garter snake to eat 5 minnows in a 15 hour period?

Hello everyone. Thank you for the replies. I've posted some pictures of Snakey here. Yes... my snake's name is Snakey... Me and my g/f didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl and we are not very good at coming up with names and it's the only snake we have so we are calling it Snakey. Hehe... anyway enjoy!

Btw... I am gonna start uploading some videos of Snakey hunting fish. I'll link them once they are done.

It's a Checkered Garter Snake (Thamnophis marcianus marcianus). If you wish you can place your photos directly into your posts;

Hans, How many marcianus do you have? I also have a group of them and I'm looking for a well coloured sub-adult male.

Perfectly normal, my female wandering eats 6 pinkines in around 3 mins, and she looks for more -_-;

Very pretty snake

6 pinkies in 3 minutes???? Wow! We just started our snake on pinkies a week ago and we only fed him 1 pinkie. We fed him 1 pinkie again today. Is feeding him one pinkie per week enough? Or should we feed him something else during the week as well? I want to make sure that he is getting fed enough but don't want to over feed him.
