    Be patient. It sounds like you've got a pretty good setup. Give him/her time to get settled in.
    As far as those brown looking slug things go. If it has a shell it's a snail. No shell it's probably a slug. I don't know which garter snake you have so I don't know if slugs are on their menu. Most of my radixes won't eat slugs. I offer once in awhile more as a joke and they just look at me like "I'm not eating that!"

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