They can last a LONG time without food. If he eats, then just stuff him full of worms before you leave. They can go 5 weeks without food if they're healthy.

Re: My first Garter!
Water should be your biggest concern. They don't last long without it.
Putting a couple water dishes in might keep some water cleaner.
Of course, that doesn't mean they'll drink from the cleaner one.

Re: My first Garter!
Alright, I also had seen an automatic snake watering dish, for lack of better words... I think it was only $10 would this be a good investment?

I found mine at a little tiny local pet shop called Rainbow Pets 2... Originally Posted by snakehill

But my guess is they're all over.
Petsmart has one...
They look like:
I know they aren't that big and it's more for just making sure the pet has water and not so mu ch for swimming in...

Re: My first Garter!
To avoid a high parasite load, try freezing the toads solid, then thaw them in a bag along with some pinkies. That does two things. Freezing kills parasites inside the toads, and thawing with pinkies gets toad scent on them so he might be more easily converted over to rodents. Nothing wrong with whole toads, it's just that they carry worms. Better to convert him over to pinkies or scent pinkies with toads to get him to eat them. Originally Posted by J@50n
