How can I get my Garter Snake to eat crickets?

Question

I have had a Garter Snake for about 2 weeks now and I have feed it gold fish twice so far with no problem. But I want to give my snake a good diet, so I bought 15 crickets for a dollar and my Garter Snake refuses to eat one. I have left a few crickets in her 10 gallon cage, I have wiggled a cricket infront of her, and I have rubbed fish on a live cricket so it gets the scent. So if you can help me on this with personal experence I would be very gratful. Plus any other advice about something I mite not know would be great too.

Thank for your time and help! God Bless!

Answer 1

Garter snakes don't eat insects. They are fish and frog eaters. Avoid goldfish, they are not healthy for reptiles. Try rosey red minnows from the pet store or minnows from a bait shop.

Answer 3

Snakes don't eat crickets. They live on rodents (depending on size you can feed it pinkies--frozen baby mice), lizards...I never knew of a snake that would eat goldfish. Congrats.

They like big meals like the goldfish or pinkies, crickets are not enough. Lizards and frogs eat crickets. Never heard of a snake that eats crickets.

Answer 4

Garter snakes don't usually eat crickets. Other food choices to make them have a healthy diet would be earthworms, slugs, and mice, usually fuzzies or pinkies. Garter snakes usually aren't that big.
