Hey! My name's Raegan. I recently discovered the crazy amount of diversity in the Common Garter Snake (13 recognized subspecies! Wow!) and, upon doing further research, decided I wanted to own one as a pet (someday). So here I am! About me: Fish tank maniac (which explains my username, plus it's also the name of my blog), central Texas, currently a senior in high school, planning on studying Aquatic Biology in college. I figure that I'll be able to actually own a garter snake of my own after college, but until then I want to learn as much as I can, pick up tips and tricks, and get to know people who are current owners. So... hello!
