Hello all, over a period of about a month I have caught four garter snakes. I have two little babies named Theodore (bigger one), and Alice. I caught Theodore a few weeks ago and Alice yesterday when I found her under a rock. My two adults are Cordelia and Copper. The two adults are in a twenty gallon tank together with an under tank heating pad, repticarpet, a large water bowl, and lots of branches to climb on. The small ones are in a ten gallon together with a shallow shell for a water dish that's big enough for them to curl up in, moss, climbing space, repticarpet, and a heat lamp.
The heat lamp gets switched between both cages at regular intervals so they all have time to bask, the little ones get it more because they don't have an undertank heating pad. I have been feeding frogs, tadpoles, goldfish (I now know this is a no no), and earthworms. I am just trying out the repticarpet to see how I like it. Any and All suggestions are appreciated. I have fallen in love with my little snakes and want to do my Best for them. All of them have adapted nicely to captivity. The only snake that hasnt eaten yet is Alice. I will post pictures when I get home from school.
