Hi, Just got my first pair of Garters.
they are only a couple of months old and i dont know much about them just they were listed as checkered garters.
ive had them health checked and sexed and i have a female and a male.
i will post some pics soon.
the question i wanted to ask is........
when i fed them (first feed, i was so excited),
the female ate hers as quick as possible and then chased the male around to try to steal his, the male then seemed to whip her with his tale....is this normal? could i have been imagining it?
Another thing i would like to know is there somewhere i could get some general information on garter behaviour? they are so unlike any other snake ive ever come into contact with and im fascinated.
Also garters are opportunistic feeders right? should i be worried about over feeding them?
