    Re: Feeding time injuries

    I've seen similar injuries many times. A big drop of blood wells up and can appear quite alarming, but when it wipes off there is no visible wound and no long term harm. Garters fight over their food... fact of life!

    Great! I've been trying to teach them the social graces. Give them a little refinement and now I find out it's all for naught.

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

    Re: Feeding time injuries

    I remember panicking one time because I found a blood streak smeared across the glass after a feeding. I checked both parties, and couldn't even find where one had been injured. I guess someone tried to eat someone, but I never did find out which one was guilty!
