maggots for food for baby garters

[Eight]

on top of that....maggots are insect larva....garters do not eat insects

As far as I've read garters do eat insects, but shouldn't as they can't digest the chitin exoskeleton
. I thought that as fly larvae don't have chitin that I'm aware of that it might possibly be ok. Obviously for the reasons stated above I won't be using them though lol.

Sliced nightcrawlers are a good option, I'd think. Get some small nightcrawlers and a pair of scissors or a knife and chop them up into bite-sized chunks. Watch the little boogers gobble them up!

what are nightcrawlers? I've seen the name pop up again and again. Are they available outside the usa?
