    Re: A visit to the NY reptile expo!

    So, the corn was separated from the others, and everyone seems to be pretty happy about this. The corn usually moves around at night and I can see him climbing on the branch every now and then. The lil albino is all over the place, and the browns seem to love him. There is no real issue between them all.

    Now as far as feeding, I have gotten the albino to eat some pinky parts. Granted they were cut up really small, but hey, he is eatin. The corn however... I don't think he is truly settled in like I had thought he was. He still hasn't eaten, but other than that, he seems to be in good health. Oh, how often should I feed the albino? So far I have fed him a few small pieces of pinky (a third of a pinky cut up into 3-4 parts) twice in just as many days. Is this too much food? He doesn't seem to mind it, and eats it like nothing!

    Garter snakes never turn food down. When your snakes return to their slim appearance after a feeding they could use some more food.
    When they are younger they eat more as they are trying to get out of that "Happy Meal" size. The bigger they get the higher up the food chain they climb.
    Granted, it's not much of a move but it is a move.

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