    Gardening today I found some juicy, wild, wriggling earthworms, all fat from organic soil, and I put one in his tank. It was gone when I checked a few minutes later and I could not find it ... Wasn't too sure til took him out and while he was basking in the afternoon sun up in the avocado tree, I dangled another in front and he ate it up! I was so excited when he went for it I got goose bumps. Since then he ate one more in his tank ... or at least it has disappeared

    Great job, Jen & Sugar. I have found feeding too much all at once to a long time non-eater can cause them to regeurgitate. Take it easy for a day or so. Check to make sure they are pooping. After that, pile it on, someone has some catching up to do.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Thank you, Steve. It has not passed yet so I will hold on more. That is good to know.
    cheers!
