hi again
im a new member and i think this is my first proper post :-), i wanted to ask about what substrate you all use, when i last kept them i used paper, gravel (that was a mistake!), iv kept other species so long that i cant remember how messy garters are, i used to keep eastern indigos so i have experienced projectile poop :-) iv been reading as many threads and topics as i can, and iv hopefully sorted out some cb garters from the famous mr francis, so just have arrange housing feeding, time off work etc etc, oh and pick a species/subsp/mutation, still not done that yet either, to be honest i dont really know those species/subsp being bred these days as when i last kept them, there was no such thing as captive bred thamnophis except on a very small scale, there were few types offered othar than redsided and the occasional big florida, so if anyone can recommend a sp/subsp/mutation for a returning fan please feel free. from all my homework the difference from what i normally keep to garters is housing and diet, diet is quite simple but housing is another thing, most of my stuff like confined spaces and heatpads, wheras garters are the complete opposite so that will take a bit of trial and error :-)
thankyou for all and any help.
Rgds
Edward
