That's probably enough for now, if you wanted to feed him more, maybe feed him one pinky every 5 or 6 days. He should be fine how you feed him now though.

Re: Is it normal for my garter snake to eat 5 minnows in a 15 hour period?
Okay, glad to know that we aren't starving the poor guy. I want him to get used to eating pinkies since it is so new to him but I was wondering how long should we wait until we give him a minnow or two that are in our freezer? I know he doesn't really need them now that he is on pinkies but eventually I want to get them out of my freezer! I think I have read on here somewhere that sometimes people give their snakes a minnow every now and then even though the main diet consists of pinkies. Just curious about that and I am a little too lazy to read through the threads right

Lee, Do you buy your pinkies in bulk or something? I didn't know that garter snakes eat that many pinkies in a day. I am still learning as you can tell.

Yes I bought 200 large pinkies from rodent pro not too long ago and I'm going through them fast... I'll need to order some more in probably 2 months.. This time I'll order a combo of pinkies/fuzzies/hoppers and maybe some adult mice I'm unsure... I know my female is probably capable of eating small rats..
