Alright, fine, I'll make one too! I have 5 snakes, but I'm making one for Red because he's the one who will be changing.

He's a "flame" eastern garter snake. He was born in May (I think), and gets redder with every shed!

He is a sweet, calm snake, smaller then the rest for some reason. (9-10 inches) He is very "tame" but will bite me if he feels like it. Just a little casual nip, though, to get the message across.

He gets extremely exited during feeding time, to the point where I have to seperate him from the others sometimes! If he sees his water dish moves, he thinks guppies are there and swims around in circles. Problem is when he's in that mode he attacks movement which includes other snakes.

So he has a unique attitude.

Here he is earlier when I got him.



Here he is after his most recent shed!

(during shed phase)


After:




That second one may be a little exaggerated by lighting, but that's the most color-accurate photos I have.

I'll update this thread with photos each time he sheds.

I love garter snakes.
