    Re: can babys garters eat fuzzys?

    I've seen my Little Dude eat a frog that was a great deal larger than her own head. It took her a while, but she gulped that sucker down. Snakes are capable of eating things quite larger than their own heads. But whether it would be healthy, or whether they would want to, that's a different story. But generally speaking, it's better to feed things the snake can easily eat, and a good rule of thumb is that the pieces should be no bigger than the snake's head.

    That said, the suggestion to mix the fuzzy pieces with worm pieces is a good one. If you chop a fresh nightcrawler, the pieces will continue to wiggle for some time, and the movement and scent will attract the snake's attention.
    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

    especially with babies. They need smaller food. You don't want to stretch them out as much as the adults. That's why you feed them less, more frequently.

    I wouldn't do fuxxies. No reason.
