New owner

dawn47978 · 05-14-2007, 04:42 PM

Hi, my name is Dawn. I am a proud new owner of a gartner. I'm not sure which one

. Please I need all the info I can get. I have it housed in a 10 gallon , with a dirt bottom and a plant several sticks for hiding and a water dish for drinking and bathing. I also have a heating pad and light for it. I put nightcrawlers and wax worms in there. The snake [JAKE] seems very happy at at ease. Please help me be the best mom I can be. Oh i live in Indiana, if that helps. Thanks

Dawn, if you're unsure of the species/sub-species you have, you could post a picture and let us help to identify Jake.

Put the worms in a low bowl so he doesn't ingest dirt with the worm....also, they don't eat waxworms...or insects period... feeder fish are better than worms, no goldfish!
