Great to have you with us. I do mean "WITH US". The people in this forum have a true passion for Garters. The little creatures deserve our care and appreciation. If there was ever a species of snake that was so misunderstood it would be this one. So many people take them for granted and think they have no worth. They couldn't be more wrong.

Hello, and welcome!:)

[DaveM]

thanks for your warm welcomes guys, I have one question regards garter care, what is the easiest way to get a 10 week old snake feeding again?

[guidofatherof5]

Warmth and simulating food. Guppies in a clear bowl. Just a little water. You want the fish spashing around. This will help send the scent into the enclosure. If snake is still shy, leave the room. You'll be surprized how fast they will start eating.
