Do you have a paper towel down over the substrate so she doesn't get substrate in her food?

no,she was under there and i didn't want to scare her out. the bowl is pretty broad and flat.

Perhaps next time, inform your friend that you can't pick her up or disturb her.

Also, she can drag the food out really easily if she were to eat.

i know i know, i succumbed to peer pressure. they were the ones who suggested that i go with the red-sided garter over the atb because they thought it was a cooler-looking snake. i talk about her in class all the time and they always see me on here, so i felt compelled. i lifted her rock, picked her up so i could put it back down without pinning her then put her back in. was probably a total of 20s of disturbance. at her size, i'm not really worried about her swallowing the bark chips: they're too big. when she gets bigger though, i will have to be more careful. how quickly i forget your teachings.

You are hereby sentenced to 5 hail Hydras and 10 our garter snakes prayers while on your knees in front of the tank.

i have offered up 3 toads and a leech

Toads usually carry a heavy parasite load.

crap

[guidofatherof5]

Frogs and toads are the worst.

Refresh my memory. Have you tried guppies in a container yet?

in reference to the ribbon thread, will males of either species try to breed with females of the other species? obviously, the offspring wouldn't be viable, but maybe some snake-mules would pop out
