    Re: getting new garter snakes to eat?

    Most minnows contain Thiaminase. Better to stick with safe fish like guppies.
    Read about Thiaminase in the care sheet.

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

    Re: getting new garter snakes to eat?

    My one wild-caught garter settled in pretty quickly and will eat anything but not if I am watching. How long have you had them? It may take them a while to settle in but I wouldn't be too concerned if an adult doesn't eat for a week or two at first.
