Hello from the new neighbor!

Preacha1130 · 10-11-2007, 02:54 PM

Hey guys just wanted to take the time and say hello. I'm new here and jumped online to find out new resources for caring for my snakes. A lil bit about me I was thrusted into the snake world after my father and my son had caught a 4ft female on their nature walk. We had believed her to be a male but 2 months later we find, to our surprise, that Max is actually a Maxine! So being a new snake papa I dove head first into everything garter snake. She birthed a litter of 22 but three were not strong enough. I only have 10 left now and plan on keeping about 5. Unfortunately Max passed due to a bad batch of food from the reptile shop. Which is a shame because she was a great snake and very personable. Trust me I wanted to kill them. So thats about it, I just wanted to find a community that is as crazy about garters as my son and I. Lata
