Baby Garter Snakes As Pets
Baby Garter snakes shed their first skin almost immediately, and will begin eating soon after. The first shedding is very fine and often disintegrates in minutes under the slithering masses of new snakes. Feeding baby Garter snakes can be tricky, most often mealworms, goldfish, tadpoles, and pinkies (thawed fully and waved before the snake) will entice appetites. Don't be alarmed if it is a few weeks before a baby Gartner snake eats; it takes them some time to become accustomed to new settings.
