Oh, thank you everyone! These guys are so different than I've ever had! Not that I've had a bazillion garters/snakes, but SO DIFFERENT!

One o'The Boys was up on a log, hangin' out, at the front of the tank - so pretty! And I knocked on the tank and NOTHING. Knocked harder - NOTHING. Not even a tongue flick. KNOCKED ON THE GLASS REALLY REALLY HARD and NOTHING! I freaked, fumbled getting the tank lid off and reached in with a finger to get my dead baby... And off he slithered! Weird! LOL!!!

As I type, the front-tank one went to hide out and two are in the 'sauna.' The 10g will not be the best home for them and I'll be glad when I can move them into the 29g. They're REALLY long. Rick says in their second year they'll add about one more foot (!!!YIKES!!!) and will fill out. These guys are really really long! WAY longer than Winnie at the park, the longest garter I know.

This all feels surreal. It's gonna take some time getting used to. I never imagined I'd have Peepers and Jeepers let alone three BLUE snakes! I wish I could shrink myself down and get in the tank(s) with them.
