Assuming you would like a blog post discussing the diet of garden snakes:
Garden snakes are small to medium sized snakes that can be found in many different habitats throughout the world. Their diet consists mainly of insects and other small invertebrates.
Garden snakes are opportunistic feeders and will often eat whatever is readily available and easy to catch. Many gardeners appreciate these snakes for their ability to control pests such as beetles crickets and grasshoppers.
Insects make up the majority of the garden snake’s diet. Common prey items include beetles crickets grasshoppers ants and caterpillars. They will also consume other small invertebrates such as snails slugs and earthworms.
Garden snakes will also occasionally eat small vertebrates such as lizards frogs and baby mice. These vertebrates usually make up a small percentage of their diet and are usually consumed when other food sources are scarce.
Garden snakes are constrictors and will kill their prey by wrapping their body around it and squeezing it until it stops breathing. They will then swallow their prey whole.
If you have garden snakes on your property there is no need to be concerned about them attacking you or your pets. They are not venomous and are generally timid around humans. However if you are bitten by a garden snake wash the wound with soap and water and seek medical attention just to be safe.
