    Re: thiamine B, how long?

    If your snake is eating rosy reds it will eat guppies. I've never heard of a garter distinguishing between fish.
    Any fish = Food

    Have you tried the worm chunks in with the fish?
    The more hungry a garter gets the less picky they are.
    What size container are you using when you feed? You are container feeding, right?


    Try this. Put guppies in with rosy reds and watch what happens.
    Make sure the guppies out number the rosies. Your little scrub will eat whatever it grabs.

    Re: thiamine B, how long?

    Currently i container feed him in a one cup ziplock container, I have zebra danios which he refused (im not sure about the thiminase in these either). Ive tried worm chunks before but ive never gotten a reaction from that. I will try Snakeman's reptomin minnow plan and will try mixing as many guppies with some of my rosies. i think the reason why he didnt eat the danios is because he was stressed cause he shed the same day.

    Thats interesting Steve... I (and others with me...) have noticed otherwise with frozen/thawed fish! Some species are most certainly ignored, even when mixed!

    I should have been more specific in my answer. I meant live fish.
    My comment was more from a commonsense point of view then experience. I can't imagine any garter caring about most fish species when a feeding response has been triggered by flopping/splashing fish.
