help needed
i currebtly have a albino checkered garter. for the first view months, i fed him pinkies... suddenly, it doesn want pinkies anymore.. then i tried a small house lizard that i found around the house.. and he ate it... the next week, it wouldnt eat pinkies again.. and i tried small house lizard again..this time, he had 3 house lizards.... is it ok to keep feeding him small house lizards? do i need to wash the lizards before feeding it to him? how can i make him eat pinkies again?

Re: help needed
rub the lizard all over the pinkie and try offering it to him and if that works wash the pinkie off with water then dry it and rub the lizard all over that should work,

Re: help needed
Hi Lionel. Reeds' advice to 'scent' the pinky with the lizard is good, it should work for you.
I'd like to see photos of the house lizards (and your Garter too)

Re: help needed
Hi,
why you don't feed him with frozen fish: Perhaps your snake will like it more than pinkies. But you can bring a test of his excrements to the animal doctor from time to time, every half year (this isn't expensive) and you'll know in time, when your snake has parasits. If the snake has parasits in you know it it time, so it isn't very danger. But if you don't know about that, Your animal will dye on it. |
