Hi,

I'm unsure what is wrong with my little male garter. He is housed in a 40 breeder with 1 other male. Both are babies. He has always been a little more shy so I have let him be to reduce stress. He usually eats well. Currently eating silverside fish. I noticed the other day his scales on one side are kind of sticking up. And he is a little stiff. Could he be dehydrated? They have a big bowl of water all the time but the lip of the bowl was kinda high. Or maybe a retained shed? I have had garters for 7 years and never seen this. Thank you for any advise. Sorry for the poor picture. I can take more tomorrow. image.jpg
