    Re: Feeding Garters Shrimp? Possible?

    They might eat it but I would be worried about where it was from(not bought). Chemicals, heavy metals and pesticides.
    I also don't know about the make-up of shrimp.
    Definitely not in their wild food menu.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    I've never seen it happen in the wild but I have had wild caught garters(T.radix) take pinkies the second they were offered. Leads me to believe that if they found a nest of them in my shed the pinkies would be a good meal. I've also read in many publications that rodents are on the menu of many species of garter snakes.
