It looks like us Utahns are slowly making our way to thamnophis domination. Welcome aboard!

If you have any questions at all Don is the local source to turn to, I would volunteer to answer any questions as well but Don knows a lot more than I do.

I have a pair of T. e. vagrans that are amazing. My male will eat anything I wiggle in front of him, my female however is pretty picky and will only take mice.

Oh and about the info you got from Petsmart, I would not trust any info I recieved from them or any other pet store in the area for that matter. My local pet stores insist that goldfish and crickets are the best diet for Garters.
