Re: Garters active during daylight hours?
I don't currently have Garters, but when I used to keep them they were out and about (or just basking) a good bit during the day.

Re: Garters active during daylight hours?
I see them in my yard patroling broad daylight but I also find them under carpet and boards hiding, too.

Re: Garters active during daylight hours?
Normally they are diurnal and can be seen more during daylight hours. However , they have very acute eyesight and any movement, especially from above sends them ducking for cover. Haha.

Same here with my two. I can find either of them out at any hour of the day, day or night. I do offer a 12/12 light cycle, so I don't think it's their schedule being off. The eastern is out during the night a lot more than the albino checkered as well.

Re: Garters active during daylight hours?
Any time, all the time.
My checkered is out a little LESS during the day now because he's in a busier spot and he's a spooky little bugger, but I catch him out basking often.

Re: Garters active during daylight hours?
Thank you all. I was thinking...Just thinking mind you...about getting a snake that may be active in it's tank. I have a spare Exoterra tank lol. I wouldn't care if it didn't like to be held, this would be more of a display animal. If not a snake then something else.
I hate to see and empty enclosure just sitting around
Just pondering what I may put in it.
Oh the tank is an 18x18x24. I have had this tank for years. I already have the back ground foam on it. Still just setting there all alone and empty.

Re: Garters active during daylight hours?
You could think about some rough green snakes, they are insectivores that do well in planted tanks and are also arborial.

I have a male Valley and he is on the move constantly. Great eater too. A real low maintenance snake. Love him.
