Re: Hey!

Thamnophis marcianus . They are the Chequered garter snakes. They are quite young still but one of them is eating pinkies. I havent seen the other one eat one yet as i only got them 2day. I have split them up though and put a pinkie in the tank for the female so the other one doesnt have another meal

Re: Hey!

Nice species choice, Joe. I also have T. marcianus. Some of our members have albino Checkereds, mine are normal colour though. Are yours normal or albino?

Re: Hey!

Welcome to the forum. I also have some marcianus, 1 normal colored and 1 albino. Very fun snakes, enjoy them.

If you need some knowledge, a good place to start is with this article:

And feel free to ask questions if you need to know something.
