Cut up earthworms, guppies, silversides or pinky parts would probably be best Pinky parts are probably more nutritious than earthworms, but some babies are picky.

I'll have to try yuppies, let me know how they work. Might be tough to pry them out of the BMW though
Otherwise what kibikiba mentioned 
Earthworms, pinky parts, guppies.

Yuppies would be too fatty and contain too many additives such as Bluetooth and Starbucks.

ROTFLMFAO!!
I vote that statement to be the "post of the month"
As a matter of fact, this entire page.
Oh man, that's rich! Get it? Rich? LOL!

But no, seriously, I of course only have experience with northwestern garters, oregon red spotted garters, and plains garters. I would say that chopped night crawlers are an excellent first food for all of them. After they get to feeding on that stuff, It's pretty easy to introduce things like silversides and pinkies. I'm not buying into this thing that live guppies and movement is what is needed. Try different safe fish, night crawlers, whatever. Once you find something dead that they will eat, let them eat for a while and then start introducing new items.
From now on, I'll treat others like they treat me. Some will be glad, others should be scared

I still say let's try yuppies.
@ Haz: pieces about the size of their heads or smaller is what I do. Also, never let very young babies get overstuffed. Feed them small meals often, until they get a little bigger and their organs are better developed.
From now on, I'll treat others like they treat me. Some will be glad, others should be scared

No such thing as a "reg" garter. I checked.
