Good idea. I tell you what though, around where I live, there's not much need to go through that expense even if there was a vet that would see our garters. (there isn't) It's all but guaranteed the snakes have worms. It goes with their diet of amphibians and fish. In most it doesn't cause any issues but at worst, tape worms especially, do cause problems.

A lot of us around here just dose them anyway, (no vet visit) with Pancur and/or Praziquantel (being cautious not to overdose) if they're wild-caught. They nearly always pass worms when we do.

its been fed on live guppies all the time so im slightly apprehensive about how hes going to feed , my garters have pinkies-fluffs trout and samon , nothing ever alive ( sometimes lobworms ) so i hope itl be a easy transition i doubt it will though lol
