Hey people,
I have a question for those of you who are working or have worked with T. c. ocellatus.
I recently bought a female black neck... I was just wondering what is the general description of these garters temperament compared to other garters... I know the infernalis are well infernal, the easterns and radix easy going and so on. But what about the black necks...
After 4 weeks, my female is getting used to my presence but still retreats swiftly after I am present for a couple of seconds in front of her cage. She feeds voraciously on anything presented from tongs though. I am by no means complaining about her habit. I am fairly used to flighty snakes!! hehe I just want to learn more about this fascinating sub species!
I'll had picture when I figure out how to pause her without stressing her.
