The small part is what makes raising them such a rewarding challenge.
Unlike bigger snakes, I can't just toss pinkies at them and expect them to eat, every other day I have to chop up mice and fish into little bits for them to eat.

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
I chop stuff up especially small because I like feeding bite sized peices, they get digested faster, and they can eat tomorrow, which helps them grow faster (frequent feedings like that). It's awesome.
I'll say it again. I love garters.

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
A couple new shots of my girl "Midnight", she's a doll unless she's hungry.
Handle fish, worms, or rodent and forget to wash your hands, it's going to bleed.
Heck, she went after me once when I had fried chicken for dinner and forgot to wash my hands. All I wanted to do was change the water in her bowl, she smelled the chicken and BAM she had hold of my hand good.
She's about an inch to an inch and a half thick. (Medium large female)

Scott announced the white (albino) with the thick orange stripe died this past spring.
I sure do hope I can produce some results with her kids that I have. I feel very lucky, she only produced one litter ever before she died from complications.
