I'm sure this has been covered on multiple occasions, but I will ask anyways since I am getting nothing useful from the search function. I caught a baby garter snake on the beach in my back yard, he got to be no more than a week old. About 7 inches, and a little less than a quarter inch thick at it's meatiest point. How long do they usually go without eating before their first bite? I have been putting it in a separate container with chopped up worms, and still no go.
