Hey guys! So Arco shed Monday night. Perfect shed aswell! This morning I get up to see her soaking in her water bowl. I thought it was quite sweet, got some good photos and all that!! Went to work this morning and when I came back, 11 hours later, she was still there?? Never seen her be in there for so long......is that normal???

Ha ha!! They eat almost anything really. Supposedly, Mice represent complete nutrition, but other foods are deficient in some way and must be fed in combination or supplemented to ensure a complete diet. So mice are the best thing to feed them. They're lovely to watch tho. Really curious little things!! :)

Oh right, I knew they had pinks, but I thought you had to feed them fish and stuff as well. Nice small snakes... easier to squeeze into a spare corner than an adult rainbow :P Have to see if I have a spare corner anywhere lol!

Hey smart bunny. We feed them pinkies. They seem to love them! They're very easy to keep but not as nice to handle as BRBs! They're quite skittish at times but once you eventually get to pick them up, they settle! Think they're only about a year old so still quite young. They're quite interesting to watch. They're always out and about (unlike Arco!) and really inquisitive! :)

Awww they are gorgeous!!! How easy are they to keep, and do you feed them fish? Thanks for posting the pics :D

Ha ha! Thanks Cliff! They're quite sweet! Really pretty, for non rainbows that is!!! ;)

Um... there is an 'other reptiles' section on here you know...

Would love to see pics of your garter snakes please!!
Nathair2012 Posted - 03/06/2013 : 22:00:49
Thanks again Cliff!!! :)
Snakesitter Posted - 03/06/2013 : 20:54:22
It's an easy bug to catch. ;-) Glad to hear I could help.
Nathair2012 Posted - 30/05/2013 : 21:02:18
Thanks for the advice Cliff! You always put my mind at ease!!
Arco decided that a near 30 hour bath was quite sufficient for her!! Ha ha!!! She's fed tonight and gone back to snuggle in her hide!!
Thanks again! Always really paranoid when she does stuff for the first time!! The joys of being a first time snake owner!!
We got ourselves two beautiful Garter snakes aswell! Got the snake bug I think!! #128516; :D

I've seen adults soak for as much as five days straight. Make sure to check the water under yours to see if she's soiled it; if so, gently evict her and change it.
