    UV isn't needed for garters. Incandescent works fine.

    This thread is making me feel lame and uninspired lol I need to go on a hike and find my babies some new toys to climb on. I just got a space heater for their room, so they're all out looking for things to do.

    Re: show your tank

    My concern would be that the soil and tank will be to moist. Spring tails and pill bugs need moist soil to live and reproduce, I have them in my toad tank but don't garters develop a skin and/or mouth issues when to moist??

    Yes, they can. Scale rot for one thing.

    I have a wild caught garter, and I took her in (she didn't seem so healthy so I still have her in isolation) but she gave birth to 8 or 12 babies I forgot which, unfortunately a lot of her babies weren't too healthy (probably because when I caught her she was a little bit underage to be a breeder snake), but I still have 3 left that are eating like hogs and know that when I open up their tank, IT'S FEEDING TIME!!! But one of her biggest problems is that I caught her in a wet area so she has a possible Respiratory Infection, and lots of scale rot so I keep her away from my main collection, but she still is really nice, never bit me, never tried.
