    Re: "Taming" a wild caught garter

    Hey!

    Try hand feeding. That helped my WC adult more than anything. It took 7 months but now he's very calm and trusting. And big.

    She took a nightcrawler off the tongs twice then stopped. Since then I've had to put them in dish with dirt or just throw them in the tank!
