Hello!!!

I'm new so HI!!! I've always loved snakes, and always enjoy going out to catch garter and water snakes in the marsh near my house. Recently I was on craigslist and I saw a free garter snake for sale! I immediately contacted them and the next day I went to pick him up. when I got their I realized that he was in horrible condition. They were keeping him in a tiny critter keeper thing without any water. I took him home and he's currently living in a 40 gallon tank. He doesn't mind being held and hasn't tried to bite me once. I'm going to a expo in july and hoping to get some more garter snakes there. :D

Nice to have you with us.
Here's a link to the forum care sheet which is always a good read.
What are you feeding it?
Do you know what species you have? What part of the country are you in?

Hi, currently I'm feeding him frozen thawed feeder fish and earth worms. I believe he is an eastern garter. I am in New England :D.
