Just found this site. I have...Correction, My son has 2 wild caught eastern(?) garters. We've had them about 2 months. I think that one is female and the other male. Both about 19" long. Both are eating pinky's well. The female is voracious, but the male is a little more reserved. She ate 5 large pinkies the other day. I had a garter snake in high school and this is bringing back memories. I have already gotten some good information while lurking before I could complete the registration process. Hope to talk to you soon...
