Garter snake fish diet?

Hello!
So here's my problem: I'm planning on getting a garter snake soon. My parents don't mind me getting a snake, but they don't want me feeding it mice or rats, dead or alive. My mom had pet rats and mice all her life so she hates the thought of giving a snake mice (I dont blame her!).
So basically, there is absolutely no way for me to feed it mice. Could I just feed my snake fish (guppies and salmon) and earthworms? Or is there another diet I could use instead of any rodents or toads?

If I do feed my snake fish do I need supplement? If so, what kind?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you! :)

Goldfish are bad for feeders for just about anything.

They are high in thiaminase which can lead to a whole host of nutritional related deficiencies and problems later down the road.
