Getting yet another garter snake

Was contacted by a breeder who has another non feeding female blackneck Garter.

Since the other two "non feeders" ate for me, she gave me the snake rather than let it starve to death.

Leaves fed ex today arrival in the morning.

She is from a second clutch, 1/2 related to the three I got from the same breeder before. (Same father, different mother)

Congrats and best of luck. Iam sure you'll have it eating in no time. How did you get the others to eat?

Bullfrog tadpoles.

Works like a champ. It's their natural first meal.

Just like you can get non eating corns and racers eating with live Anoles.
