How can I get my baby garter snake to eat?
I have a garter snake that is about 20 days old who has not yet eaten and I'm beginning to get concerned. His mother was hit by a car and all the young were squished out, so he was probably born a little prematurely and he is paralyzed in the back 2/5 of his body, which might have something to do with why he won't eat. I have tried chopped earthworms and fish fillet, neither of which he will eat (he almost seems of afraid of the worms when they move). Does anyone have any suggestions?
