Reed, I'm not... unless they show signs of going into brumation themselves. I've never done it and it scares me. LOL But if the snakes require it, I'll do it.

Here is the video of her eating. She just cracks me up, beacuse she eats one thing after another after another... my other garters pause after each tidbit, but oh no, not this one!! She also eats under water-- do any of yours do that?? I know the video is poor, but you can see her eating fish and worms under water, and then occasionally pulling a fish out. She eats the worms, fish, and then fuzzies last (altho one brave minnow managed to evade her the whole time!).

This was only my second time trying to edit a video, so excuse the corny intro and credits and music.
