Her temperament will probably improve after she has been in captivity for a longer time.

I know a lot of people here own checkers. Can someone tell me how well they do in captivity?

EXTREMELY WELL! They are one of the most popular CB garter species.

I'm going to quarantine her in another cage just incase she has anything. How long do I keep her there? What things should I keep an eye on?
I'll put some pics on so you guys can verify her species and whether it's a he or she. I'm so excited!

Quarantine should be 5 - 6 weeks.
