Folks seem to agree Scott's Premium Topsoil in a Red/magenta bag is a good topsoil to use. A big bag costs less than $5.00 and is available at Lowes/HomeDepot/etc.

Coffee grounds sound kinda...

I just replied to your other post.
I have a Radix who is a great eater. Bubbie eats large sized pinkys, earthworm/nightcrawlers, chicken hearts/gizzards and occasionally a little salmon.

Don't forget good old fashioned night-crawlers from your local Walmart ... aka, Gartersnake comfort food. (My two Eastern Garters won't touch them with a ten-foot pole.

My Radix will not eat...

For what it's worth ...
I gave up on UTH and use an overhead basking light only now.
I keep the room my snakes are in around 72 degrees for night time temp.
Two year old poll ... I doubt anyone...

Yeah, maybe if a moderator would monitor this website for spammers ....

It's just now baby season here in Story county Iowa.

The first meal was nightcrawlers chunks and yesterday he had pinky slices and...

I will post some photos when we get settled in.
I'm 93.2% sure it is T. Radix.

Sorry this is such a poor photo.
We are both figuring this out.
The little snake is alert and active and seems to be curious about me.
I ran down to petco and got a little plastic reptile...

My fear of having scared off all the garter snakes from my yard have been greatly exaggerated.
There are at least 4 adult individuals.
Gee, do they like pinkies.

All ate thee or four pinkies...

Well, one week later and I had all but given up hope of having the family of Garters still living in my yard

But I just found a (I believe) a very fresh skin by the concrete stoop.
The shed was...

Hey, I'm super new here. (not even sure if this is the right place to post this.)

I got interested in Garter Snakes after I bought a little house in a small town just north of Ames Iowa. There...
