What can go together with a red-sided? For instance (random) can a plains go with one? Northwesterns? I know easterns can but that's all I'm sure of.
And I know to stay away from wandering garters (cannibalism)
I don't really plan on getting one anytime soon (just got one), but just in case, I might buy one to get this new one eating, or for whatever reason, I want to make sure.

Re: Mixing species?
I have Red Sided and Plains living in perfect harmony. (Unless it's food time)
Do keep the sexes separated though.Steve

They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

Re: Mixing species?
I've housed my parietalis with sirtalis, concinnus, marcianus, and radix - never a problem

Re: Mixing species?
Just don't let them cross-breed. Some of the folks on this forum get rather upset about that.
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

Well, there goes my fiendish plan to breed a Gojira-sized garter snake to take over the world. 8(

I have one hybrid garter I adopted a few years ago, he's fine.
