I didn't have snakes until 2014--I'm still pretty new at this, and have yet to brumate a snake ever, so in many respects I'm still pretty green. But, I still know to check my husbandry first. His temps were here I always keep them, 85 on the hot side. Nothing about his enclosure had changed lately--he has plenty of cover (3 plants, a cardboard tube, a reptile basics hide, a humid hide, and a ledge--he doesn't know what open space in his home IS). And he's been out and about (for his version of out and about) about as much as normal.

This particular garter came to me feeding on pinkie parts already--I'm not sure what other prey he'd eat, to be honest, as I've never offered him anything else either. I was going to try fish, but as it happens he took a pinkie mouse I left for him last night. Obviously that's not a full meal for him, but now I can think about offering the rat pinks I just received. Even if, to me, they look absolutely huge for my little shoestring snake. O.o

Anyway! Everyone ate last night yaaaaay.
