Zeus was really really nippy today. I was checking on the snakes after getting dinner. Jesse was sweet as always, flicking her tongue at my fingers. I went to pet Zeus and he whipped around, nipping at me. I figured he was just really hungry, but is this common behavior for garters? He is just usually not that jumpy and nippy when I touch him.

He is really aggresive when taking food too....he feels the need to lunge full-force at anything in my fingers. Jesse takes food really gently. The smaller the piece offered, the better she is at not biting.

He did accidentaly nip his friend on the nose when they both were smelling the same fish lol. Jesse almost seemed upset about it. This is the first time that this has happened. They are both really good during dinner time.
