Blackneck Garter Snakes

To me one of the most beautiful Thamnophis species found.

Heck with color morphs, they are gorgeous as is.

Re: Blackneck Garter Snakes

Nice looking snakes. Just out of curiosity, do you think its better to feed them only on mice or rats, as opposed to maintaining a variety closer to their natural diet that you can get in petstores - mice and rats but also feeder fish, worms, etc? I've been meaning to post a thread about this for a general discussion too.

Re: Blackneck Garter Snakes

I feed her mice and fish.

The only two things she has interest in.

Oh I almost forgot, Bullfrog tads in the summer as a treat.

I know a couple people who maintain them just fine on small mice, But I like to give her fish, she loves it.
