I use them as the majority of the diet for mine, but as others have stated, mixing in other foods to the diet is a great way to make sure they have a balanced diet.

A varied diet is a good thing.

Thanks. I'm right with you guys there. Half the fun for me of keeping herps is feeding different prey items. I'd just rather offer something with a skeleton as a staple and personally feel happier with fish more often than rodents for these guys. So as long as the pond smelt are safe, that's what I'll use with nightcrawlers and the occasional mouse.
Now the real question is which type of garter should I get? Options are melanistic eastern, parietalis, blue infernalis or anery parietalis. Going to be female regardless
