The worm died so I took it out. I dont think cutting it in half would help. He just didnt have any interest in it. Im getting a pinky mouse today and im gonna cut it in half or a fourth and scent it then give it to him. I hope he eats it!
I put an earthworm in my garter snake tank and he hasnt eaten it after a day! :( I might get guppies tonight, but im not sure if my petco has feeder guppies, only minnows....
Oh wait is your snake brand new to you? I only ask because sometimes snakes don't eat until they are settled in and feeling safe. He won't starve or anything. I'd give it a few days before you try to feed him again.
I recommend guppies instead. I found out minnow have something in them that depletes garters of an important thing they need called thiaminase. Without it they gradually get weak and sick over time. Also try leeches. They love leeches. Oh and earthworms too. Not red wigglers but earthworms/nightcrawlers. Good luck!
whaer can you buy minnows to feed it

That is unusual. I suggest cutting the earthworm in half. See if that helps. Let us know
