Hello, I am Ashley, and new to this forum. So first off, Hello! Secondly, I have a question about my pet garter snake that I have just gotten Sunday.

He is wild, about a 1 1/2 ft or 2 ft or so. I have propery set-up/care/heating so far, but I was wondering, to ease his stress, how do I get him/her 'used' to me? I'm willing to take months if need be, I just want my friend to be comfortable and get the most out of the care I'm providing for him.

Thanks for all help. I've been getting alot of my garter snake questions answered on here, this site has been VERY useful. Actually, a guy named 'count dewclaw' recommended me from talktothefrog. Glad he did.
