my garter addiction

drache · 02-27-2007, 11:06 AM

This is kind of bad, but hanging out here really kicks in my garter addiction.
I want more.
If I could only catch those two fully grown Siamensis in my 33G tank, then I could put the entire content of my 20G long into that tank. Who needs two fishtanks anyway - all those water changes are a pain.
I'd really pretty much have to take everything out of the 33G to get them though. Maybe next week . . .

Hello. My name is Rhea, and I have a snake addiction

. I think we're all pretty similar... looking all over the house for an empty spot where a new enclosure would fit.

I've put my children up for sale on the internet. It will free a lot of space and just think of all the snakes I could buy with the money I get for them!

That's pretty funny guys and comforting too Rick as I do seem to do those mental room scans wondering where another might fit, lol

yes.....i fed my tropical fish to my snakes.......and then I had another 3 foot viv....just a few mods to the lid....

I know the feeling.

Just turned down an offer on a flat, because it was too expensive, if I wanted to keep garters as well....

But I still like it.

did you really do that?
I've thought about feeding the Siamensis to the adult garters.
They're a tough fish though, 3.5" long, muscular and 6 years old. I am worried that the snake would get hurt.
I can bring them to the shop and trade them for feeders for the little ones.
That lone surviving albino Buenos Aires Tetra - also ancient - l've thought about feeding that one too. He looks tasty and I bet he's lonely anyway, being a Tetra.

i know i know...but in all fairness we seemed to have an unhealthy tank...kept losing fish for no apparent reason, water tested fine, perfect temp, lots of plants, good lighting and filter....but still seemed to keep having problems...got fed up and decided I had had enough...all small comunity fish...

The garters were pleased!

Let's get this right....everything was perfect, but you kept losing fish and you Garters are happy? You've been raising snake food!! LOL
