New garters pics!

Told you I'd get pics! I had to snitch part of their hide... There is a larger rock that goes on top of the two smaller ones, along with some fake plants, but you get the idea! :D

Maurice is the one on top, looking up. The bottom one is Dangerous Beans (Danger for short.)

This is what I ment by dismatling the hide - those are the two smaller rocks I mentioned. Maurice is on the left, Danger more to the right.

Here Maurice was just a little to fast for me... oh well... at least you can see his stripe well! :D

Nice looking snakes! :)

Um, I hope you don't have "real" rocks balanced like that. It's just a matter of time before it falls off and crushes one of the snakes. It may seem like a good idea as far as looks go, but it's just not safe! Sorry to rant, but I had to say something...

Again, nice garters! :D

No, they're not real rocks, and I try to keep it all secure with a bit of masking tape, just to be on the safe side.

Just a heads up on the tape..............I have heard of someone whose BCi got a little too close to a label(the sticky side), on some cage decorations, I believe. The snake was rubbing, trying to get it off, and removed some of his skin in the process. I used to use a little masking tape in one of my enclosures to hold a hide in place, but have since removed it, as I am afraid the same will happen to her.

I've never had any problems, but I'll keep a closer eye out now... and I'll prolly think about investing in something else...

did you catch em?

[Nanashi04]

yes, I thought they'd never come out. This time of the year you can walk through my backyard and pick up about half a dozen, not even looking. Dad won't let me actully *buy* a snake, not that I have an money to do so. :P

i once put a small peice of masking tape in the vivarium with one of my garters. IT was also to secure a hidebox, the snake still managed to tip the box and get the tape on him. i had to put olive oil on him and remove it very carefully, i was LUCKY, if i were you i would try to figure something differnt to secure the rocks, so the same thing dosent happen to you.

what little sweety's! good luck. ( if your parents don't approve then it's probably for good reason. wild caught is so unfair. it's like putting you into shed. think about it)
