#2269673 Baja View Profile	What size prey item Today I fed my 18 inch garter a pinky mouse. I’m not sure if this is enough for a week. Should I move up to fuzzies, or should I feed more than one pinky a week? Also I heard that I should dust a pinky once in awhile do I have to do this with snakes or is it just for lizards? I’ve done plenty of research but I wanted to see if I was doing it right.

If he is 18 inches it sounds like maybe a small hopper. a pic would be great. I also keep minnow always in my cage in his water dish. what size tank? Get a good sized water dished and just put 6-7 minnows in it.

#2269734 Baja View Profile	Message To: Chameleon_man   In reference to Message Id: 2269676  What size prey item I was feeding him minnows but my pet store ran out so I had to go buy him frozen rodents instead. Right now he’s is only in a 10 gallon but I’ll upgrade him to a 20 long soon. So one hopper a week will be good. Do you think it would be OK if I fed him fish fillet? I’ve heard some sites say that it’s healthy for them, but I’m not too sure if it’s true.

I would not because i don’t know much about it. but i have seen some people do it. It would be a lot getter if you could get a pic up of him. but a small hopper should be ok but i can’t say for sure. or even maybe a large fuzzy. or a could of pinkies. lol
