    Re: Scenting still not working

    I'm just saying that unlike corns, kings, milks, that can eat hairy mice exclusively with no problems, it can cause problems in garters by making them more prone to impaction or constipation. Of course, this may not apply to all garters, especially those that tend to make rodents the main part of their diet in the wild.

    Degestion (duration and success)depends on temperature.
    Snakes with full stomac try to use the best avaliable heat source.
    Their might be small differences in species or populations but there are big differences in thermoregulation!

    Fact is that impactions are often made up mainly of undigested hair.

    Correlation doesn't imply causation.
