I just got a red-sided het from Scott F. He was born 5/08. I have had every other snake you can name but this is my first garter. They have always been my favorite. I have read every care sheet I could find on the web so I know petty much what they should and shouldn't eat (no red wigglers etc.) but some recommend one thing while others don't so it's confusing at times. Scott told me he was eating feeder guppies but I'm having troble finding them in my area. I'm really looking forward to cutting up pinkies (yech!)
