[GarterGuy]

I don't have any garters wintering over yet, but I do have a pair of L.m.thayeri that are in my basement right now. I worry about what's going on with them, but I was told by a friend to not bother them too much, but now with all that I've been hearing here.....I'm a bit worried about them. They're on Carefresh bedding with a small water bowl, but they have a tendecey to get the bedding in the bowl. I used this since I figured they'd want to burrow........is it better to just use something to cover the bottom? And how often is too often to be checking on them?
