Brand new snake caretaker from Canada here.

[dieselbaby]

HI everyone!

Im a brand new snake caretaker from northwestern, Ontario Canada. Unfortunately my first snake is one that my dog went and injured. But the lil snake has found her way into our hearts and our home, and i am just fascinated by her. I have been watching her for hours and doing a bunch of reading on here, and i must say this is an awesome forum! Great Job!

Welcome to the family! You'll find this place to be an everyday presence in your life! At least I do :D

[dieselbaby]

Thank you both of you! Hahaha i might at that. Well winter is coming up fast here in the great white north, so i will need something to do all winter, and i do love to talk. You guys will be sick of me in no time. :D

[katach]

Nah, we all love to talk too!!

well goodnight all its bedtime for me, but i am so glad i came across this forum, its been a great learning experience for me. All the info i found will be a great asset in helping our new friend recover from her ordeal. I think i should have adopted a garter sooner;)

I came here cause I had a gravid garter and was wanting to raise babies and do more for my garters thn I have in the past. I found this forum and loved the people right away also. Everyone here is sooooooo helpful no matter what the question is. Its a great place.

Welcome to the forum!

I have to agree, everyone was so friendly immediately, and i was reading all the helpful information for hours last night. I was even taking notes which is something i rarely do but i didnt want to forget anything.

Yeah, there are a lot of nice and helpful people on this forum.

They helped me when I had problems with one of my snakes.

It was a wild caught snake, and I ended up letting it go.

I think that was best for it.

Anyway, good luck with the snake. :)

Hi there, yeah this one is wild caught too, unfortunately my dog caught her in a bad way. I was originally going to see if i could heal her and then release her, but looking at the date, its september now and the weather is going to get alot cooler pretty fast so im worried its too close to hibernation and i would hate for something else to happen to her, so i think this girl is here for the winter at least. If she tames down, and quits trying to bite me all the time, i think we will keep her, if she doesnt i think it might be best to release her back out into the wild once its warm enough to do so come spring. However, i have become quite fond of her, so if i do release her, i have a feeling ill be looking for a captive bred snake:) but time will tell for now i just want her to get better, make sure she doesnt get infection, and heal the wound up. Then go from there.

[frostyftw]

Sounds like a good plan. :)
