my hot tub deck for about 4 yrs now. How are they surviving? What do they eat? Just curious: they don't really bother me.

they eat lots of things..... earthworms, small insects, small mammals, frogs. they are underthere because it is a good safe hiding place. and probably stays warm when it gets cool

They eat bugs and possibly baby mice.
Survival is easy a garter snake.

I am well experenced with Garder snake's. They are eating mice, diffrent kinds of bugs, frogs, and if there is water down there and fish, they will eat the fish. I'm happy I could help.

they are probably mainly eating slugs and worms, most likely they come out in the middle of the day to sun them selves then drop off the edge of the deck quick when they see you come.
hope that answers it
