Hey!
My name is Renay, I'm 20 years old and have just bought my first home with my boyfriend. We live in a small town where I work at my mothers store (a temporary fix, I have a degree in accounting), and my boyfriend works as a mechanic. We share our home with 2 dogs, Dolly a rescued American Pit Bull Terrier mix and Maggie a miniature poodle x maltese. 3 cats Cuda, Duster and Polara (yes we like cars... Yes we like Mopar lol!), 1 bearded dragon Turbo, 3 rats Elsie and Peeka are two rescued gray hooded sisters, and Lily is a hairless rat. I also have hermit crabs, finches, and fish. Its a lot of work taking care of my zoo, but I do it with pride, my animals are my life and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I don't currently have any Garter snakes, but I would absolutely love to get one. Most important though, is doing my research first, which is why I've decided to join this forum! The reason why I would like to have a Garter snake is because I could never bare to feed a snake any rodents, dead or alive. I understand that snakes have to eat, but I'd rather not be the one doing the feeding. Feeding fish and insects seems easier. We have Garter snakes in the wild here, as I'm sure most people do, but I never knew they were kept as pets. Once I've begun researching them and have come to the conclusion of whether or not I would be a good home for a Garter, I'll be looking for reputable breeders. In the meantime, its research, research, research!

I look forward to meeting everyone here and having the oppurtunity to discuss these amazing creatures!
