hey there,

4 weeks ago i bought 4 garter snakes, concinnus in fact, i really llove this snakes, i love wathing them and feeding is real fun. i don't have any problems with cleaning their terrarium and doing alll the other stuff i have to do.

BUT i an afraidd of touching them, i am afraid when my big femal comes near my hand ... i just can handle them with gloves cause i can not touch them. they aren't biting, a bit stinky but no biting.

here in germany i never had contact to wild snakes and the only snake i touched before my garters was a tiiger python when i was around 5 or 6 ...

well i red a lot of books abount garters and searched a lot in the net so i was prepared for housing them but then ... i am really scared of touching my sweeties and can't really explain why

i didn't know that it would be like that annd i don't wanna give mmy babies away. can anybody give me a tip how to manage this problem?

thanks for reading and sorry for my bad english,

kaza
