I guess I'll have to start setting people straight, then.

Re: Garters smelly?
About 50% of the food is fish in my "gartergarden"
If I clean out the enclosures regularly I have no smell-problem.

Is there any truth to it at all? Has anybody noticed anything like that?
I've noticed that if I feed each snake a large amount of fish that they smell.
