Plains garter snakes eat a wide variety of animal prey. The diet of plains garter snakes and common garter snakes is very similar, so they probably compete for prey where they are found in the same area. They eat frogs and toads, salamanders, fish, birds, small rodents, leeches, earthworms, and grasshoppers.
The main foods of the Garter snake are earthworms, frogs, fish, leeches, tadpoles and sometimes mice. Because they are quite small, they do have a lot to fear. They are hunted and eaten by bears, raccoons, skunks and especially birds. Crows, magpie, hawks and owls can find them very easily from up in the sky.
