I caught a little Garter at my parents place and I am trying to coax it to feed. So far I have tried worms and little fish (live and dead). The fish I've put in the water and out of water and the snake doesn't seem interested. I went as far as coating some of the worms in fish food and still the snake wasn't interested. I think its a little female, shes just over a foot long and was probably born in the late spring/early summer. I found her on a garden trail where there are ponds and rivers close by and also lots of fallen foliage, so I'm sure it probably had quite an array of things to choose from. I've had the snake for a few days now and it hasn't shown any signs of wanting to eat. Does anyone have any suggestions?!
