He's one heck of an eater, that's for sure.
So little though, I anxiously await him growing a bit so I can switch him over to pinks.

About 1 month old, got a deal on him as "non feeder" so he never ate until 2 weeks ago.

Re: more Thamnophis pictures.....(added)
Yeah they can be fun when purchased as non feeders, i bought a pair last year and lost one as he had not eaten for over a month and kept regurgitatiing when force fed. It was very sad as i thought i had him going, but alas he died. Its always a good feeling when you do get em going strong!!!

Re: more Thamnophis pictures.....(added)
Most of my garter collection started out as non feeders. I couldn't afford it otherwise.
It has it's ups and downs... Lose a few every year but the ones that make it are worth doing it.

Re: more Thamnophis pictures.....(added)
I know what your saying i have lost 6 neonates due to this over the years. Its always a sad day when you do, but you can only do so much. I got a surprise with one of my tigers as he would not eat feeder fish scented with quail embryo (which they absolutely love the quail)when i first got him. He was a bit larger than that garter of yours, but I decided to throw him a very small mice pinky i had out of a litter on a whim. To my suprise he smashed and has never looked back. It was moment i wont forget and he is definetely one of my favourites now.

Re: more Thamnophis pictures.....(added)
Most start eating for me the day they arrive 
I net tiny minnows from my creek. They love the little flopping fish, if I put 2-3 tadpoles in the feeder box with a few tiny fish, the snakes usually eat it all, then I can wean them off the tadpoles quickly.
I just lost an albino that had a full belly, so I have to assume other factors also play into the equation of failure to thrive.

Re: more Thamnophis pictures.....(added)
Ah you have the treats for them when they arrive. You must be like the ice cream man to them lol. Must be good to have the main ingredients to a full and happy garter at your door for the small price of your own time.
I have learnt some tricks along the way with a few difficult feeders from different species ( i still need help with a lot of species, you only learn from your own experience and other peoples advice ), but you still have the odd one that doesnt want to help themselves to a good feed.
Im sorry to hear about your albino.
