    Re: My snake NEEDS to eat

    Like I said. Maybe they knew something I didn't. Our tadpoles were tree frogs that decided to make our blow up pool their breeding ground for 2 seasons. Wouldn't touch them and the 2 snakes I tried to feed them to were wild caught females from our backyard (same territory)

    Those 2 girls actually took readily to salmon and pinkies. So no complaints here!

    I think my snake is like the reptilian version of Bear Grylls. Of all the things my 10-year old self gave him to eat he refused red wigglers, rosy minnows, and crickets. I know most garters won't even look at crickets, but I'm impressed with how he shunned the wigglers and rosy minnows. Funny thing is, he took right to nightcrawlers and other non-dangerous foodstuffs.

    They probably know more than we give them credit for half the time lol

    Okay, your garter survived amazing things and you managed to make the rest of us feel really really ANCIENT (well not all of us, but most!).

    LOL!
