    Hello

    Hello.
    Not new to herps, not even new to garters, but I've not kept any for a long time.

    'nough about me, here are my two mountain garters

    Female:



    Male:



    They are wild caught from the same creek up here in Redding, a creek that has plenty of them.
    Currently they are feeding on pacific treefrogs and some type of minnow, but I plan to switch them to f/t fuzzies when they are big enough.

    I like to field herp, and always love encountering garters. They are such mesmerizing snakes.

    Anyway, I look forward to keeping them and raising them, and hopefully will pick up some good pointers here

    I found the site via calris, a member there with handle jitami mentioned she posts here.

    Hope to see y'all around

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.
