Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, but this is my 2nd garter snake. (the first one escaped and was never found) It's actually a ribbon snake that I've been feeding minnows, mostly, for about a couple of years. I'm keeping it in a 7th grade science classroom. It has an under the tank rubberized heating pad on one end, a gallon plastic box for the fish, and pathos growing out of a quart jar and two different hides. It's been hiding in the jar with pathos roots for weeks and months -- sometimes coming out to bask in the very early morning and sometimes only to feed. Is this ok? I just let it do what it wants, but worry about being too wet all the time.

thanks,
Mrs. S
