questioned on garters.

[Stefan-A]

See, I don't buy into the whole "Garters are for beginners" mind-set. I think Corn Snakes, for example (but many others too) are far easier to keep..... Just throw in a mouse or two once a month, and change the water now and then. Most of the time these "better" snakes just lie around like a big colourful t**d. About as interesting as stamp collecting! My apologies to all the philatelists amongst us!

I agree. When I bought my corn, I really thought I had grown out of wanting to yell "For _______'s sake, do something!" at reptiles. Haven't seen it come out of its hide for days now, while the garters in the apartment below cruise around the terrarium every now and then (the male is in the blue phase and that doesn't stop him). By the way, I didn't know garters were into sidewinding. Saw the female do it twice.

No wonder people turn to hot snakes, at least they're big colourful t**ds with fangs.

Should I sell the corn, or hold on to it? It's turning out to be a bit of a disappointment.
