When you say greater quantity do you mean feeding him two pinkies instead of one at the same feeding? My son used to cut the pinky into pieces before feeding him but the snake is now able to eat it whole.

My husband goes fishing a lot during the summer so I'll have him get an extra box of nightcrawlers or minnows the next time he goes to the bait store. I guess I was just afraid that the snake wouldn't eat the pinkies if we started giving him nightcrawlers and minnows again.

I saw this video of a garter snake catching his own minnows from a bowl in his tank on YouTube. Of course the minnows were live and swimming around in the bowl. It was pretty interesting to watch the snake hunting his own prey so to speak. Does anyone else's snake do that?
