As you guys know I have become victim to the Addiction that is Garter snakes. I was at a local reptiles show and at the last 10 min of the show some guy walks up to me. He asked if I wanted to buy his female garter that he didnt want any more. I gave $40 for her in hope to see her bounch back in my care.

I said lets see it. We first off it is a female and it was an albino checkard. second she was NEAR DEATH! no mites or scars though. He had told me he was to busy to care for her anf forgets to feed her. apparently the last time she at was a month ago and it was a pinky and then again a month before. She was 45 grams, very long, and very very skinny, when I got her home and like a wet noodle. The guy had no idea of her age and to tell you the truth I didnt feal like talking to him anymore after he handed her over. I would guess she is 2yrs old?

I got her home on Sat after noon and let put her into a small tub with a 1/4 inch of water. I kid you not! she drank ALL the water I though she was trying to drown herself lol. I was sooo happy to see he actually start moving! So I let her chill all night in her cage and in the morning I offered her a small crawler. She nailed it unsceneted and slowly took it down. I offered her another this morning and she slammed it! It looks like I saved her life! I will get pics of her soon.
