True. And many snakes that eat 2-3 pinkies per meal will readily take fuzzies cut in half. Fuzzies and pinkies cost me exactly the same - $1. But a fuzzy can be cut and is like 2 pinkies.

If your garter is well nourished and has good weight, a gut full of rodents ONCE every 7-10 days is plenty! You can always give them an occasional snack of fish or worms if you can't stand to wait that long.
