i had one similis ... was my first garter. had her 3 days ... opened the terrarium to change the water and this silly thing just jumped out of the terrarium and i found her a week after that ... my cat was playing "catch the snake" with her ...

these snakes are nervous and jumpy as hell ... be carefull with her

and i know that few of them never calm down with their age ... have seen this snakes jumping over some tables in hamm when a vendor opened a box with 2 of them in it ... nasty lil snakes, but beautiful.
