Wow, thank you very much guys for all the help. I'll definitely try some of those techniques but my garter seems to be like your Amy, she hits her head on the glass and other objects when i mess with her lid or she just sits there and freezes(its weird cuz she freezes and it seems like shes breathing really hard and her body kind of flucktuates). Sounding from some of the info above, i doubt my garter will ever like being handled but i wont give up. *sigh* Why cant it be more like my corn snake when handling? haha
Oh and one more quick question, if i feed a worm or some salmon fillet while i feed pinks, do i still need to lightly calcium dust the food? If so, how many times do i do it?
