True. My first pair of concinnus lived to be around 20 years old (she even had a litter of 50 babies one year) and they only ate fish, worms, and occasionally amphibians. I had heard that garters will eat mice so I tried, but those two wouldn't touch them and I saw no reason at the time to make them eat rodents. Male died at 3 feet, 18 yrs old. Female was over 3 feet and 20 when she died. No rodents involved.
