Garter love

seeing garters grow on these forums, i thought it would be a great idea to start this thread.

Post pics of your garters! (ribbons are welcome as well).

Re: Garter love

And a few more because everyone likes pictures...
The red sided is a spaz if you have to get near him or move him for cleaning but the checkered is quite calm and they both eat pinkies no problem.

Re: Garter love

Here's a few of my favorite photos.

In his old tank. He's since been upgraded to a much larger tank and he is now on aspen rather than EcoEarth. But I managed to catch him while in blue.


Then later I caught him shedding.




He's been outside a few times, but I don't generally let him leave my hands.


I did put a bunch of grass blades into Cloud's weighing tub once and let him crawl around in it. He was so interested by the grass he only made a few nominal attempts to leave the tub and gave up after I blocked his way a few times.

Re: Garter love

There are CALM Checkereds? Well, that's a relief. Maybe someday we'll get there. LOL.



The only Dart photo I didn't put in the other thread! From yesterday.

I think the lady garters are, in general, more laid back than the boys. The boys seem to be prone to fits of histrionics.

...although it's hilarious when they try to escape in their water dish. Aww, little snake, you don't realize that won't work, do you? I can still see you. It's not that deep.

That's what I hear at least. haha I don't mind Draco's craziness too awfully bad, I just get worried he'll hurt himself every time he makes it to the floor. -.- If I'm holding him I usually catch him, but it's difficult to if he does that from his tank, because of the awkward set up in the living room. >.>

I took Draco out yesterday to weigh him again, because I didn't believe that 23 gram nonsense, and he was being nice and calm. After awhile of having him out he started getting a bit antsy, though. I got him from his cool hide, so he may have been a little cool, causing him to be a bit sluggish. I'll keep working with him and see if I can't get him to calm down for me again. haha

Re: Garter love

All beauties. Makes me want to adopt the Taiwanese Beauty Snake the rescuers have up for adoption. She's about 6' and docile.
Anyways, thanks for sharing.
