Update on the wild rescued Garter snake...
I have fed two live meals since the rescue and he will not take frozen thawed or a live pinky mouse. Due to his lack of eating, im going to put him through a brumation cycle so he will slow down his metabolism due to lack of food resources. He shed about 1 week ago and is looking much better. All scales appear intact and very little scarring. Once out of brumation (mid to late march) ill attempt to feed again (frozen/thawed or live) and see how that goes. Id like to get one more shed and then release him
