I only have 1, Tank and he's 18.40 lbs with a carapace length of 10.75 inches Tell me about yours. Please.

Oh wow, didn't know he was that big. Mine doesn't have a name. I got him from a friend who caught him as a baby in the wild, and raised him up and wanted to release him back into the wild but I stopped him (being that he was already adjusted to captivity). Mine's carapace length is 6 inches and weighs 1.5lbs. He loves to bite stuff! I have 5 others, 2 subadult/juveniles and 3 hatchlings.

Garden Snakes are dangerous

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SNAKES CAN BE DANGEROUS...

Garden Snakes also known as Garter Snakes (Thamnophissirtalis) can be dangerous. Yes, grass snakes, not rattlesnakes. Here's why.

A couple in Sweetwater, Texas had a lot of potted plants. During a recent cold spell, the wife was bringing a lot of them indoors to protect them from a possible freeze.

It turned out that a little green garden grass snake was hidden in one of the plants. When it had warmed up, it slithered out and the wife saw it go under the sofa.

She let out a very loud scream.

The husband, who was taking a shower, ran out into the living room naked to see what the problem was. She told him there was a snake under the sofa.

He got down on the floor on his hands and knees to look for it. About that time the family dog came and cold-nosed him on the behind. He thought the snake had bitten him, so he screamed and fell over on the floor.

His wife thought he had had a heart attack, so she covered him up, told him to lie still and called an ambulance.

The attendants rushed in, would not listen to his protests, loaded him on the stretcher, and started carrying him out.

About that time, the snake came out from under the sofa and the Emergency Medical Technician saw it and dropped his end of the stretcher. That's when the man broke his leg and why he is still in the hospital.

The wife still had the problem of the snake in the house, so she called on a neighbor who volunteered to capture the snake. He armed himself with a rolled-up newspaper and began poking under the couch.. Soon he decided it was gone and told the woman, who sat down on the sofa in relief.

But while relaxing, her hand dangled in between the cushions, where she felt the snake wriggling around. She screamed and fainted, the snake rushed back under the sofa.

The neighbor man, seeing her lying there passed out, tried to use CPR to revive her.

The neighbor's wife, who had just returned from shopping at the grocery store, saw her husband's mouth on the woman's mouth and slammed her husband in the back of the head with a bag of canned goods, knocking him out and cutting his scalp to a point where it needed stitches.

The noise woke the woman from her dead faint and she saw her neighbor lying on the floor with his wife bending over him, so she assumed that the snake had bitten him. She went to the kitchen and got a small bottle of whiskey, and began pouring it down the man's throat.

It was at this point that the police arrived.
Breathe here...

They saw the unconscious man, smelled the whiskey, and assumed that a drunken fight had occurred. They were about to arrest them all, when the women tried to explain how it all happened over a little garden snake!

The police called an ambulance, which took away the neighbor and his sobbing wife.

Now, the little snake again crawled out from under the sofa and one of the policemen drew his gun and fired at it. He missed the snake and hit the leg of the end table. The table fell over, the lamp on it shattered and, as the bulb broke, it started a fire in the drapes.

The other policeman tried to beat out the flames, and fell through the window into the yard on top of the family dog who, startled, jumped out and raced into the street, where an oncoming car swerved to avoid it and smashed into the parked police car.

Meanwhile, neighbors saw the burning drapes and called the fire department. The firemen started raising the fire ladder when they were halfway down the street. The rising ladder tore out the overhead wires and knocked out the power and telephones in a ten-square city block area, but they did manage to get the fire out.

Time passed! Both men were discharged from the hospital, the house was repaired, the dog came home, the police acquired a new car and all was right with their world.

A while later they were watching TV and the weatherman announced a cold snap for that night. The wife asked her husband if he thought they should bring in their plants for the night.

And that's when he shot her.

I moved my milk snakes over to the rack with my king a few weeks ago. They were starting to outgrow the 20L they shared and I figured it'd be best to split them up before one tried to eat the other.

Anywho, they seemed to be enjoying themselves as they did before (mostly hiding, but making an appearance around sunset) for about a week when my cat alerted me to something around the baseboard heater in the living room (which is not even turned on); I saw the tail of a milk snake flash through a gap before it disappeared. This was around 11 on Thanksgiving and I spent the next hour tearing apart the heating unit but I couldn't find it. I left the pieces on the floor and went to bed, figuring the cat would probably find the snake before I would.

Two days later I'm on the other side of the snake room, cleaning the fish tank. I look through the empty tank the milk snakes used to live in to see the garter tank. I see a wire that seems to be out of place, so I finish up what I'm doing and go to check it out. I walk over and find the milk snake, watching me with solid black eyes, unflinching. It's peeking out of the top drawer of my dresser so I scoop it up and put it in with the other milk.

I don't know how it got out in the first place. The gap between the tub and the shelf above is less than 1/8", but I can't see the back very well. I think I'll add a shim in back to make sure it's flush before trying it again.

There shouldn't be any kind of gap.

There shouldn't be any kind of gap.

I know, but I bought it second-hand. I didn't know it at the time but the guy was a royal breeder; he custom built the racks with the idea that a bulbous head can't fit through a slight gap. I had been waiting for my snakes to get bigger before moving them over, but I guess I didn't wait long enough.
