Is it normal for my garter snake to eat 5 minnows in a 15 hour period?

hi and welcome to the forum! Everything is normal with your garter as previously stated. Looking forward to pictures. //Christopher

Hello everyone. Thank you for the replies. I've posted some pictures of Snakey here. Yes... my snake's name is Snakey... Me and my g/f didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl and we are not very good at coming up with names and it's the only snake we have so we are calling it Snakey. Hehe... anyway enjoy!

Btw... I am gonna start uploading some videos of Snakey hunting fish. I'll link them once they are done.

It's a Checkered Garter Snake (Thamnophis marcianus marcianus). If you wish you can place your photos directly into your posts;

Welcome to the forum, enjoy it here

Nice snake! I also have some marcianus, you'll love him.

Hans, How many marcianus do you have? I also have a group of them and I'm looking for a well coloured sub-adult male.

I currently have 2: 1 adult female ( normal color ) and 1 yearling albino (I hope male, will be looking into his gender soon, but he's way smaller ). I have 2 more on the way, will be buying them at Hamm .

I think you should be able to find sub-adult/adult males of marcianus, they are bred quite often. Maybe if you're luckky in Hamm .

I hope so. I am looking for an exceptionally well marked/coloured one.

Perfectly normal, my female wandering eats 6 pinkines in around 3 mins, and she looks for more -_-;
