Great looking snakeling. Nice to see that you tend to her needs so promptly. Have you been feeding her from a dish? I dont think she would notice if you slipped a few pinkie bits in with her worms...

Re: Hello from Nebraska
Yep she feeds from a small clear tray... I have done this from the start so she only eats what she is supposed to... This weekend I till get some pinkies and see how she reacts to them. I am always on top of her and had to change her paper towels twice already! lol

Re: Hello from Nebraska
Hey everyone =) just a quick update on the terrarium...
temporary_zps8eea4f86.jpg picture by foxrun402 - Photobucket
I gave her aspen bedding... A 60w full spectrum bulb that emits uva... A timer for the light/heat... A hygrometer, and thermometer on the cool side... Also picked up the new "jungle gym" thing to climb on which has 2 hollow spaces to hide in!
About the humidity... Do any of you use a hygrometer to measure it?
If you do... What % humidity should I keep her home at?

Re: Hello from Nebraska
Quick update... Now her name is "Suzi" and instead of just giving her worms... today I got her pinkies for the first time and chopped one into bits and tried that...
She must know that the little clear dish = dinner because when she found that pinky it was doomed! and no scenting required she just gave it hell LOL!
So now she will get nightcrawlers for treats... but her main course will always be a pink
Now that she has a varied diet and accepted pinks without a problem how fast will she grow? lol

Re: Hello from Nebraska
I would keep worms in the food rotation, not just as treats.
Worms are good food. Filled with goodness for the garters.Steve

Re: Hello from Nebraska
I've noticed that garters being fed mostly a pinkie diet have a faster growth rate.
