    Re: Garters eating INSECTS!!!

    personally I wouldn't give them insects period....(sorry, missed most fo the last few days home sick...still trying to kick it!).... I force fed some insects to garters when I was young and didn't know any better...they passed out the back end looking just like they did when they went in....I gave them flies and they came out looking like flies..not snake poop if they had been able to digest them.....

    LOL that is funny, but true garters should not be fed insects if they dont have to...although i have observed a baby eastern garter trying to eat a small spider in the wild, it only got it half way into its mouth until it just sat there staring..then it regurgitated it...and also i found snake poop one time next to a den and i noticed that there was an insect in it, but like you said it looked just like it went it, just dried up a bit
    It is better to forgive and to forget than it is to remember and to hate..

    I love my Thamnophis sirtalis annectens....he is so coool
