My bro found a little baby albino garter snake yesterday. Not sure what specific species, but I live near Eugene.

Right now it is in a plastic bin with papertowl substrate, a few hide spots made from toilet paper roll cut in half, water dish with rock so it doesn't flip, and a regular auto shutoff heating pad that is really annoying to deal with. The heating pad is on the lowest setting and shuts off very often, it is under the cage folded in half with a hand towl folded in half on top of it to absorb some heat. The temperature in the cage at this moment ranges from the coldest spot ~71f to the hottest ~89f, I got these temps using a laser grip 774 heat gun. We are working on getting a proper heating pad and a thermostat. I have tried feeding it earth worm cut in half, then 1/4, then even smaller, over 2 sessions. It hasn't shown interest, I VERY gently tapped it on the face over and over with the worm and after a while it will open its mouth then close it again. Mostly it pulls back its head or just sits there. I have seen it slithering around its cage, like right now, sniffing around but yeah no feed. I have read that a 'rule' is that you let the snake sit for 3 days undisturbed with no feeding or handling, maybe longer with wild caught (like this one), but I was worried since it's a baby. Any advice you guys got would be coo.
