New garter ate!!!

[Jenn]

My latest addition (a three inch long garter snake) ate this morning!!! I've had the little guy for a few days now and he has managed to kill every earthworm I put in his water dish. But he never ate one, so I have been taking them out and cleaning his dish daily. Yesterday I just left the dead worm in the water dish and this morning when I checked on him he was eating the worm!!! I'm so happy.

Given all the pets I have, you wouldn't think I would be so excited about a tiny little garter snake, but I have become quite attached to him. He's soooooooo cute!!!

Any chance of some pics?

3 inches long! That's one small snake! I want pics! Like in your hand (if handling it is ok) or with something that will give us a good size reference!

Oh, and congrats on getting it to eat!

Three inches sounds MAD small. I've kept plenty of garters, never seen a young'n that small. Never HEARD of one that small. Maybe add a few inches to that number What kind of garter is it btw? I kept Easterns.

I fed my Eastern and Butler's Garter toads before I bred them and she (my eastern) gave birth to 29 little babies. Black with the green eastern stripe... beauties!
