Re: Red Spotted Garter Snake
I would love to hear particulars on keeping Oregon Red Spotted garters. I have bought them several times, and can't seem to keep them going.

Re: Red Spotted Garter Snake
I got my first pair two years ago, when we were in the middle of the move and lost the male to an unsecured screen top - he did never turn up, but left the female with "presents". She and all her offspring are doing fine, or at least I haven't heard otherwise. The female took a long time to get to take rodents, but all of them have always been great eaters. I still have one of the "babies", and had her shack up with an unrelated male I traded for one of her brothers, but I think they were both not quite "mature" enough
They're wonderful snakes, and I've found them to be unfussy and robust. btw - it's nice to see a little more of you again

Re: Red Spotted Garter Snake
I have a pair of concinnus, which I bought as c/b neonates. I must be honest, they're probably my best feeders and easiest to care for. Maybe I've just been lucky.
My female is very gravid and should give birth in the next few weeks. Last edited by adamanteus; 04-25-2009 at 02:37 AM. |

Re: Red Spotted Garter Snake
I love concinnus. Find them to be fantastic feeders and they grow like weeds. Although I've not had much luck loosing my female earlier in the year and now have eye troubles with Xerxes. .... James
 ... I hope she has lots
