Hi all I found your forum doing a search bc I found a baby garter in my basement...I am in Sioux Falls, SD, and its cold this time of year. Its an old basement, and theres still dirt under stairs, cracks in foundation...ayway he also had damage so I think one of my cats got to him before I did. Anyway he ended up dying today...very sudden, and I was DEVASTATED. I cried...I REALLY like the guy! I even ran out and bought snake bedding and a heat pad...not cheep. I feel like I totally messed something up and FAILED the little guy....I'm a snake killer...
