  1. crickets and earthworms and 2 week s later pinky


  2. Elephants, tigers, and giraffes are dietary favorites for small snakes.

  3. I got 200-250 baby garters this year and they LOVE diced worms. Just normal fishing worms. The mom may eat the babies, it's best to seperate them from her.

  4. Pinky mice.

  5. Start them off with minnows from the bait shop or rosey reds from the pet store. Do not feed them goldfish. Worms are fine too.  

  6. here is a excert of one of the two sites:

    Garter snakes, like all snakes, are carnivorous. Their diet consists of almost any creature that they are capable of overpowering: slugs, earthworms, insects, leeches, lizards, spiders, amphibians, birds, fish, and rodents. When living near the water, they will eat other aquatic animals. The ribbon snake in particular favors frogs (including tadpoles), readily eating them despite their strong chemical defenses.[citation needed] Food is swallowed whole. Garter snakes often adapt to eat whatever they can find. Although they dine mostly upon live animals, they will sometimes eat eggs.
