Ok i want to get a bigger tank for slithers and i'm thinking while i'm at it i should get her a tank mate. (another garter) and i got to thinking again about something else.

What if the second snake i get is male? What if they end up having babies and what would i do with them? I can't just release them into the wild as it would be cruel. ( i think) and i can't just give them away in the paper. Who knows who would want them and for what reason, because you can't always read a person by looking at them. And its not like i could sell them to a pet shop. Should i just not get another snake because i don't have room for two tanks. OR should i get a slightly different species that is safe to house with her but isn't able to breed? My snake is a parellies(bad spelling)

This is a problem i've never dealt with before because every other pet ive ever had has always been neutered/spayed. I've only had one litter of kittens in my life, no puppies, and only because the mother was a stray that we adopted. My family doesn't believe in letting our pets breed because there are plenty of already unwanted pets out there. Lol all of my pets are runts or were unwanted/abandoned/wandered to our house.

Sorry for the text wall but i'm concerned about this. Maybe i shouldn't get another snake because i don't have the experience with them to tell male from female.

Oh i would also like to report that slithers is doing awesome. She eats a pinky every three days and is active at all hours of the day.
