Hello from Texas

[masmith]

Hello - I was here some time back and kind of dropped out for a while, mostly field herping and doing less with herpetoculture. I've kept and bred eastern black-necked garters before, and have been a big fan of garter snakes going all the way back to finding T. radix as a kid around Denver. Field herping and natural history are still my first loves. Recently I got a pair of baby radix and today I received a pair of T. s. infernalis from Scott Felzer. They're really beautiful! Looking forward to reading more about what everyone's doing!

Nice to have you with us. Your story isn't a unique one. Many of us were invenomated as kid by a garter. Years later they still have control of us. I too was bitten by a radix at a young age. Now, 50 years later they still have a hold on me. This is all a good thing.;)
Here's a link to the forum care sheet which is always a good read. Feel free to ask any additional question you might have.

Welcome, Michael! Good to see another local friend and colleague on the site. I'm new as well despite having a profile for awhile.
