back from the dead....

[hjelte]

...well not really but almost.

Hi everyone! It´s been a while and my excuse is serverproblems with my internet, I´ve moved to a new home and amidst of all this I´ve had to work my behind of to make ends meet the last couple of monhts. I haven´t had much time to surf so to speak.

But! Now I´m here again and I have a question for you all.....

Have anyone of you nortamercian residents who have the privilege to see garters in the wild ever noticed how deep a garter is capable of diving in water? (or anyone of you who for some reason have a very deep waterbowl in your tank )

Or does anyone have a godd guess or anything?

I came to think about it yesterday and thought I´d ask!

[enigma200316]

well I've seen my Garter go down about six inches in its water bowl to catch a fish before.......I don't know exactly how far they will go in the wild, but I'm sure they can go as deep as they want........ oh yea and welcome back.....

[hjelte]

thank you! Ok I´ll have to check how much that is in centimeters Keep the answers and speculations coming everybody!

welcome back sweety.
i dont know how deep they can swim but i know they can stay under water for 2mins or more (after 2mins of watching kia dive i pulled her out because it began to worry me lol ).

[Thamnophis]

In the wild they dive several meters deep when neccesary.
