Re: Keeping Snakes Together

I almost forgot to add, if you keep ANY snakes together, they need to be of a similar size. I learned this the hard way! don't make the mistake because even if your larger garter is the nicest snake in the world, if it smells a trace of food on the little one or even if it's really hungy and the movement of the itty bitty snake stimulates it...

what happened to me was for one reason or another, my larger female eastern grabbed ahold of the middle section of my first ever baby albino checkered garter. the baby snake did a complete 360 degree roll out of fright and the big snakes teeth tore her skin and muscle off all the way around. it was terrible. I was much younger then, but my stupid mistake lead to a death that could have EASILY been prevented by having two snake cages. I cannot stress this enough.
