My 12 year old daughter caught her first garter snake when she was 3 years old and has loved them ever since. Next year she would like to do a presentation at her school science fair involving garter snakes.
My question is where can I get six to eight garter snakes from the same litter and can they be identified according to sex?
We will want to expose the snakes to variables of sunlight, music and foods to see the effect on their growth.
Are there any other factors that could be measured?
The snakes will not be hurt as she holds each one as if it were a kitten. They will not be subjected to anything that might harm them.
Are there any other suggestions that you could make for an award winning experiment that we could do at home?
Thank you in advance for your reply
