    If they are a pale colored worms it is probably some type of earthworm which is safe.

    The bowels and everything is just worm gravy to the snakes. It will hep carry the scent to the snakes and help stimulate a feeding responses.

    I have snakes that will drink that up. Plenty of nutrients in it.

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

    I had better luck cutting up night crawlers this time. No gushing disgusting mess, just straight up slicing. Helps having a good knife! They are eating the same night crawlers that their mother eats like candy, DMF from Walmart. Still only getting those same babies eating, and the count is now up to 4 gone.
    The babies are getting really antsy and jumpy. I'm thinking about separating the bigger babies from the tiny ones.

    I'm getting some of them to eat the cut up worms, but the ones that are disinterested crawl up to the piece of worm and sniff it, rub their faces on it, get stuck to it, and run away from it. I don't know what else I can do to encourage the rest to eat. D:
