wild baby albino garter snake care advice

[user]

I also live in Oregon between Troutdale and Sandy outside of Portland. Casper is pretty rare I guess. N.W. Albino. I did find her in the wild basically near a drain pipe in front of my house. I had never seen a white garter snake before then and thought it odd so I found this site and a lot of wonderful people here helped me raise her. Recently I had surgery that had me down for a while and nobody in my family wanted to help care for her while I was down so I thought it best to send her to a fellow who specializes in rare snakes in hopes he could breed her to further the line. He updates me occasionally and I pass the info on here to the folks who helped me raise her. She really had a great personality which I never thought snakes had. They can be just like a dog or cat. And often as moody or funny as a human which I never thought possible. I now think of snakes in a whole new way. Casper was one of the best things that ever happen in my life and I'm so glad I had the experience with her. I actually bawled like a baby the day I gave her up. Silly I know but you really get attached. Enjoy your new baby and keep us posted. 20160419_120938.jpg20160419_120523.jpgIMG_1167.jpg

Wow what an awesome story! That's also really cool we both found albino NW garters! That is pretty much how my brother found this one! And we both found them around the same size! Your Casper is such a healthy looking cutie, I hope that this little girl can grow up just as big and strong as Casper. That is good thinking on your part, really putting the snakes health and well being first. Maybe you'll find another little baby or maybe the guy who is taking care of her will give you one of her babies. That is amazing looking at Casper as a little baby and then as an adult, she is really beautiful. She was so pink when she was little lol. I wonder how this little girls color will change as she grows. Yours is T- and mine is T+ so cool. Casper is seriously a healthy looking animal, a testamate to your great care. I'm glad your surgery went went well too

So I woke up this morning and checked her out. I found her partly in her water bowl, so I bothered her for around 10 minutes with some slug but she wanted non of it pretty much, a little tongue flicking as usual though. But I picked her up and looked at her eyes and that seems to explain some of her behavior and also the fact that I got only around 2 scales off. I will keep watching her. I think I may keep giving her shed box sessions just to ensure her shed is good and moisturized but it may not be necessary. Outside it's raining and the humidity is like 94% according to google.
