Hello

[Cent]

Hello, I am Cynthia but my friends call me Cent. I own an Albino Checker Garter snake named Orchid. She is my pet snake. I do breed Corn Snakes, but I have always had a soft spot for garter snakes. Saw her at the reptile show and well she has been with me since. She has her own custom built viv my friend Patrick made for her. She is on a feeder guppy diet and I have yet to try and convert her to rodents. she was born 5.24.12. I look forward to meeting everyone and learning more. Thank you for your time.

Hello and welcome to the forum Cent! Any relation to 50-Cent? lol jk :p

Orchid looks beautiful, I myself also have albino checkereds and a few corns. From my personal experience I found it easy to convert them to pinkies with a little fish scenting.

Btw nice pics.

Welcom to the forum, Cent! It's nice to meet you and Orchid. She's beautiful.

I would recommend feeding her a varied diet if possible. If she'll eat night crawlers, those are good for feeding. I feed my snakes a mixure of fish, pinky and night crawlers, with an odd bits of egg whites(with a little yolk).

Thank you everyone. I Heard you can feed earth worms but wasn't to sure on that because as yall may come across some not very bright people would recommend crickets to corn snake hatchlings when they are no no's so I have been only getting her feeder guppies.

[Invisible Snake]

Make sure you feed them safe worms. There is a list of which worms are safe on the forums caresheet. Worms such as the red wrigger are toxic to garters and can kill them.
