Gail's garter - the snake kind silly.

[EasternGirl]

Well...like you said, no surprise that she had worms...very common with wild snakes. Good that you got that fecal sample and caught them and are treating them. Sounds like she is in great hands!

I'm trying my best.

Not sure what language you are speaking, but ok?

Sorry about that. Hope this helps.



The lateral stripe runs the length of the snake and is located in a particular row of scales.
In the case of this snake it would be said the lateral is contained in row 3 and 4 and has a dorsal scale count of 22, 11 on each side of the snake.

CIMG0062.jpgHow can you tell if a garter is over weight? Her head looks so small compared to her body.

[guidofatherof5]

First, that snake looks to be in very good shape. Not under weight or over weight.

Over weight garters sometimes get a double chin. They can also get scale spread which makes them look gravid when they are not.

[kueluck]

Thanks Steve, only when she breathes really hard do her scales spread. Like after several mins running through my fingers.

On Saturday I saw Zena up under the 25watt red bulb. Did she just fine it or does the Panacur make her feel icky and the heat makes her feel better. Just curious.
