Ok, as stated in a previous tread, I´m very interested in the varying aquatic leanings of our garter friends. I´m curious;

have anyone of you found that the bigger water-area you offer your snake, the more likely it is that you see it soaking? I have a theory that when the garter finds a body of water that appears to be bigger than a mere puddle it is more keen to get in and acually swim a few rounds, maybe in the hope to find prey like minnow etc.

Do you all think I´m completely of in this theory?
