Lisa, thanks for tending to the girl who needed you at that moment. And now that you found this site, and have seen a small glimpse of the amazing garters I suspect you may be a future keeper of the garter yourself. Don't let the idea of chopping up pinkies or worms turn you away since you only need to cut them up for the little ones, and after a few times it gets easy to do since you are doing it for the health of your snake. Garter are amazing friends to have.
