Cool post count

I don't know if the same holds true for your water babies, and I know you can't feed live, but my garter babies never went in their dish until this week. They would take a drink, but actually seemed to avoid getting wet. My husband even commented about how the babies really didn't like the water. I gave them live fish this week and now they constantly lounge in and on the dish waiting for fish to appear Before this week they've only had pre-killed food items. It made me wonder if most of the garters who spend time in the water have been conditioned to do so?
