Yeah 16 years is pretty old so I was scared, but he ended up shedding and then being ravenously hungry. It was probably about 3 weeks between meals but he seems fine and ate a slice of fish and a...

Yeah still active and alert. Totally normal other than not swallowing the food. I'm try some live fish (I think zebrafish are OK/no thiaminase)

My ~16 year old male normally is tease-fed and strikes a few times and then grabs on and eats anything without trouble. I've tried feeding him defrosted mice and fish slices (which he eats...

Yeah that's a good point. Thanks

I was feeding my snake (12 year old male) and he darted back into his cutout rock (the only place that has any chips) and ate a chip about the 1/3 the size of his head. Has anyone experienced this...

Thanks for the links. The tilapia is prepackaged frozen, as is most of the salmon I've fed him. The ingredients are just tilapia and salt. I'm not sure if they can list sodium tripolyphosphate as...

Basically the same it's been for the last 10 years. 90% raw fish dipped in calcium/D3, with occasional pinky mice and beef. The only big difference is that recently I've started feeding him tilapia...

My ~12 year old male garter I've had since it was a yearling just started spinning in circles over itself in its cage. It will spin for a minute or so, then go back to normal. I've seen it do this...

Honestly I'm not really sure why it was considered scrap other than the fact that there was a fin on it. Some parts had bones but there was a lot of solid meat in there. I'd post a picture but I just...

Wow I can't believe a thread I started 6 years ago is still going...
I would upload some current pics of my current pets but I can't find the cord that connects either my phone or camera to my...

I guess I could try to find out where the fish is from. Although I do remember asking before and I trusted it enough that I've eaten a fair amount of sashimi made from their salmon

It's been two/three years at least since I last posted, but I thought this was worth sharing. I recently realized that my grocery store cuts fresh fish every day and therefore probably had scraps...

I have one of those "critter keepers" or something, basically just a 1 gallon plastic container with a lid that snaps down. The problem was that he didn't go all the way into the box so I couldn't...

But what if there is food already far enough into it's mouth to make that not work. Also, that would have been kind of hard because my snake will musk on me if I touch him, and the tongs I was using...

Hey guys, I haven't been here in a long time because of school and such, but I was wondering how you are supposed to get food out of a garter's mouth. I ask this because I was feeding mine today and...

OK, so from what I've read from this is you shouldn't only use steak for garter food. And my question was answered and I don't think I'll be feeding him ground beef just in case. Would a diet of just...

I know that you can feed garters steak, (at least I hope so:p) but how about ground beef? I've heard some pretty nasty things about ground beef (I think, it might have been sausages though, or both)....

Do you think a little foot long garter could climb though? And it's been about a month, could it still be alive?

Well, the thing is, this was my first time not feeding in a separate container

Wait, would it take more than a couple days to die from substrate ingestion or not?

lollololololololololol...

Yes, I do, but my light is apparently only good in the summer because it only heats it about 10 - 15 degrees (25 watt light), so it was only in the high 60's (It was 55 degrees F that morning when I...

My snake seems to be doing fine, although a bit sluggish, but I guess that's just because my parents refuse to put on the heat and the house gets down to 60 at night, now that it's almost fall and...

I bought two eastern garters, both 66% possible het for leucism, one flame, one normal. The flame escaped :(

Well, that's good to know. He ate a worm with it so I would think that would be good, I don't know if he would even eat another anyways. it was very thin and about 2/3 the size of his mouth.

Today I decided, "what the heck, I'll feed him in his tank", so I fed my new garter in his tank, which went fine until I noticed that he had a bit of the aspen bedding stuck to his mouth. I figured...
