Hi all

Hi
Have just gotten my first garters:) Two tiny Albino Checkered's. Been wanting these for a couple of years now since seeing some at a breeders. Will post pics a bit later.

Apart from these two we have 2 Royal Pythons, 2 Corns, 3 Gargoyle geckos, 1 Chahoua gecko, 21 Crested geckos, 1 Beardy and a Tortoise.

Nice to have you on the forum, Andy.
A good place to start is the care sheet. It will answer many questions.
Looking forward to seeing some pictures.

You will still have many questions but it is a good source for many areas.
Don't hesitate to post you questions.
We all started off with our garter snakes at one time.
Looking forward to watching yours grow.
What are you feeding?

[Andy]

What are you feeding?

I'll be feeding Trout, Salmon and worms whilst they are small and then convert them to pinky parts gradually:)

[Andy]

Oh, and whilst I'm mainly feeding fish and worms I'll be supplementing with calcium and multivits:)

Yeh I saw that list:) I had previously spoken to someone I know that used to breed Garters and he had good results with Salmon & Trout. I'll be trying other varieties if they don't take to them easily.
