Be extremely careful when harvesting earthworms. Better to buy them here instead of find them to aviod Red Wigglers, which can be potentially hazardous.

If you raise humidity, garters will get more aktive and search for prey because their natural prey is most aktive in high humidity.

Is Spartikus eating yet? As previously stated, I wouldn't panic just yet. Give him time to settle in first. Good luck.

Spart still has not ate, Although he is almost finished his shed and he's becoming quite the active little thing, Almost thought he had escaped his cage when low and behold there he was wrapped around his thermometer completely hidden. I'm hoping he gets closer to indulging in some food soon.

It'll take a few more days after the shed sometimes.

What foods have you tried at this point?

Earthworms, Rosy reds, goldfish (In the beggining) and Guppies. I'm pretty sure after I had posted he ate about half a worm. But I am pretty sure that is not near enough food for the little guy.
