I actually found it on that link you posted elsewhere

.. They got like.. 3 so yanno.. I'm not heartbroken if the one I'm eyeing is picked up. Besides, I'm betting this guy will at least come through with a common hognose. <3

And Emilie, I think that might of been a Garter Snake. Ask Wayne, he's all about Garters!

And Wayne.. that forum sounds gross :c

Garter snakes are neat, don't they eat fish..anything with fish is awesome because you get to watch the pretty fish, a sexy snake and an awesome hunt. Entertainment at its finest!!

Watching the babies grab minnows right out of the water is cool to watch...

LOL Well considering that sometimes she does hiss a bit and try to get away from you when you first get her out of her tank...she does have her fits! But even those tiny tantrums are adorable.

Yes Wayne, the pic that sapp uploaded of the 4(?) little guys, can you tell me what the one on the right is?

Sapphyr · 02-25-11, 12:51 PM

This one, right?

infernalis · 02-25-11, 12:57 PM

That looks like a smooth green or rough green snake.

smooth green snake - Google Search

They are always wild caught, and are difficult to keep alive in captivity.

emilie · 02-25-11, 01:07 PM

hmmm too bad, i dont think i could feed it spiders anyways, i would be too afraid.

Sapphyr · 02-25-11, 01:12 PM

I thought someone said you could also feed them crickets and stuff?

Edit: I don't know... It's hard to decide whether that's a smooth green snake or a garter.. 'cause supposedly these here are garters:

This one's eyes don't match but.. it has that same color of bright green.

These could be wrong, though, since they came from google.

infernalis · 02-25-11, 02:12 PM

I can honestly say they are not Garters.

Garter snakes are of the species Thamnophis.

I own Thamnophis.net, Thamnophis.us & Thamfriends.com, Our good friend Jason (Boots) the other moderator here owns Thamnophis.com

My screen name is taken from Thamnophis Sirtalis Infernalis, The California Garter snake.

I'm not trying to brag or boast, just establishing that there is not a Garter snake species on the planet that I cannot identify on sight.

Google only searches the web for words, If someone who does not know what they photographed calls it a garter snake, Google will attach the name to the picture.

This is also why no one should ever take Wikipedia as gospel, anyone can type anything they want on there, and it's not necessarily always true.

Back to the green snakes, yes they will eat crickets, however there is an enzyme present in spiders that insects lack, Green snakes need that enzyme or their health slowly deteriorates and generally within a year the snake will die.

Just like certain fish contain an enzyme called Thiaminase that blocks thiamin absorption within the snakes that eat fish, and the snake will ultimately have an abbreviated lifespan from thiamin deficiency.

The worst 2 kinds of fish anyone could feed to garter snakes or water snakes is goldfish and rosy reds, yet for some messed up reason, quite a few pet shops will actually recommend feeding goldfish or rosies to pet garter snakes?? Those fish contain very high levels of Thiaminase.
