Re: Wild Garter -- Care Suggestions

I haven't been poking at her, but whenever I take the lid off to the cage, she comes lunging up out of the substrate and zips around in circles like a crazy creature. Since I change the water daily, that means that I've been treated to a daily vision of her speeding around and around the enclosure while looking like an alien critter. The blue eyes are creepy!

My bedroom itself is fairly humid (I run a humidifier all winter because of health issues).

Her rock and stick came from outside and were boiled before I put them into the tank. No ickies!
