This is my garter buddy I'm not sure of his age and I just kind of got into this but I have a friend that also has a garter that he has had for the past 3 years and its doing great! He is currently feeding on night-crawler bits like they are candy, and I have only been giving him about 1/4 of the night-crawler at a time. I have also been giving him a calcium supplement with vitamin d3 every 4th meal because he does not get sunlight or uv in this current setup. His tank right now is a wide 10 gal, with a 60w infared inside a 5.5" dome. The warm side reads about 88F and the cool side stays about 78F. He has 2 hide spots and a water dish just big enough to curl up in. ( I'm upgrading that this next weekend )

I want to get him on pinkies soon and have a feeling it wont be a problem. He seems ok with me!

Any tips or pointers just throw them at me, I will take any knowledge I can get. I will be sufing these forums for a while


Thank you!
