None feeding garter

[snakeman]

I agree with this.smaller enclosure,live food,and 12 hours of light.I would'nt use that enclosure until the snake is adult size.

Another thing you could try is putting her in a plastic container with her favorite food and put in a dark place for a few hours sometimes that works.

I've got two of my garters that do this they do it every year in spring. I just do the cup feeding method with an appropriate container for two or three feedings and then there back to normal.

Good luck

Thank, just tried that yesterday but she didn't take.

She's been in that enclosure for a good while now, and it was what got her eating again in the first place after she'd been in a smaller enclosure. She uses every inch of it and I'd be a shame to put her in a smaller enclosure.

Sorry for my ignorance but what's the cup feeding method?

i remember seeing a method put forward on the kingsnake site i think, which was to withhold water for about three days,and then provide the water and the food as well, they were claiming a high success rate.
