I like giving them a diverse food choice and don't particularly want them strictly on mice, since that's not their natural diet.

Some good news!
I managed to get Bael, my little male, to take not only some worms, but also frozen fish straight from my hand! My little female also took frozen, but the other two weren't interested in anything that didn't move.

What does that matter? Their natural diet is not in debate their nutrition is. Rodents will give more of everything unless there is some kind of cold blooded animal magic nutrient that makes garters super snakes.

This web site has live plats for 40 and they have 80-100 packs when you buy witch come out pretty cheap and the site says there about 2" so pretty good size however I have never bought from them so I wouldn't know but it may be worth a shot if your already spending 25+ a week for a few fish

It matters to me, because I like giving them the nutritional diversity as well as the chance to hunt different prey types. I think it is important to try and keep your reptiles diets as close as possible to their natural diets.

Thanks- the prices seem decent, though their shipping costs... make it harder.
