Re: Intro
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

Welcome to the best garter snake forum in the world, from a soggy weekend in Coventry.
Lots of people on here keep Easterns, so you will get some good answers to any questions you have.ChrisT. marcianus, T. e. cuitzeoensis, T. cyrtopsis, T. radix, T. s. infernalis, T. s. tetrataenia

Re: Intro
I certainly hope so. My main interest in the Easterns is because from what I read the others are much more likely to practice cannibalism, and I like the idea of raising some together. If it were not for that I'd consider the plains as well. I'd seen some lovely examples.

They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

Re: Intro
This is where I had read about the cannibalism in different garter species. Housing - Gartersnake.info If it is not a worry with the plains, then I'm going to consider them quite closely. Originally Posted by guidofatherof5

I didn't see T.radix (Plains garter) mentioned in the section about cannibalism.
I don't consider food related incidents as not true cannibalism. These food related incidents will happen especially if younger/smaller snakes are housed together with larger snakes. This is why feedings must be monitored.Steve

If there is no risk of cannibalism with the plains (or a tiny one only) I shall look at the ones I see for sale as well.
