Hello, from Snaky and I
Hi folks
 I am delighted to have found this forum. I have been looking for some information on Google for DAYS now, and am suprised it took me this long to find a Garter Snake Forum! Yay! Well, I *do* have an issue I would like to ask about, regarding my snake, so off I go to find a suitable place to ask it. Sasha

Re: Hello, from Snaky and I
Hi everyone
and thanks for the cold (as in 'cold blooded') er.. warm welcome So, I am Sasha, and I live in Nova Scotia, on the very east coast of the continent. I suspect Snaky is a Maritime Garter specifically, because according to all the info I can come up with, that's the only member of the Thamnophis family around here. We aparently have 5 snakes in Nova Scotia; Garters, Ribbons, Red-bellies, Green/Grasss snakes, and ring-neck snakes. Of these, I have personally seen Garters, Green (only one) and red-bellies everywhere. We have 8 acres of land here, mostly un-landscaped and un-kempt, so there are LOADS of snakes around. I found Snaky while re-stacking our woodpile, and have since build her a nice vivarium out of wood and glass, with a screen top and blue aquarium lighting for heat. She has lots of furniture and hidey-holes, and an above ground swimming pool She loves worms, and salamanders, but her favourite now appears to be pinky mice. Luckily for us, she has no qualms about frozen/thawed pinkies, as winter is very near and I had been worrying about whether I'd have food for her over the winter, should she want to eat. Had she not eaten what I can get, I would have let her go. Anyhow, this looks like a fun place to read up on the ins and out of Garter keeping. I shall see you all around! Thanks again for the nice welcome. Sasha |
