    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello everyone,
Just wanted some info on the feeding of baby garters. I had a litter born 5/28. When should they begin to eat? I offered them guppies and blood worms today 5/30, but they don't seem interested. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Many neonate snakes will not eat until after their first shed. The young snakes continue to use up the energy from their yolk sacs so you don't have to worry about them starving right away. It is fine to offer food and it will not be harmful if they eat before they shed. Good luck.
 
Louis...
Like Aaron said, give them a few days, and then try....You can try a variety of prey; small slugs, 1/4" crickets, small earthworms, beetles on top of guppies and bloodworms...garters rule, bud, enjoy them and post some pics if you can...peace
 
thanks for the info. Soon after posting the add the little ones started eating. I will try to post some pics, they are blue striped,parents are very stunning. Thanks again
