Sorry to hear about your loss.
Hang in there and don't be too hard on yourself.

It happens to the best of us. I set my watering bowl on top of one of my babies about a week ago and it smothered it. :( I felt so bad about it I haven't said anything about it. I now have a clear watering bowl.

mine were all babies. i know how you feel. i have to healthy babies right now and no more substrate thatll cause an impaction when feeding. no more babies till spring for me till i know my setup will cause no harm.

It may not be the most popular liner but I use news paper. I like it because I can get the enclosure cleaner and particles won't stick to the food.

Keeping garters is a learning experience for all of us. Most of us have been where you are.
