Update on the young San Francisco garter snakes...

[Invisible Snake]

Thanks for the update and pics, have you ever tried force feeding as a last resort?

Yes I have. But the specimen that had to be forcefed for a longer period did not grow, suffered lots of stress and always died after a while. So I do not do this anymore. The brumation of a few weeks during the summer is the last effort. If this does not help, I put them to "sleep". But the results up to now are very encouraging.
