Ok Hudina is soooo very odd...... She has been doing some odd attitude for her... She keeps going around the tank and rubbing her face on the glass. She has never done this before, and it is kind of wierd. I was thinking maybe she is getting ready to shed, but she is not graying out and she does not look like she is about to shed. And then right after that she went to her water bowl and started fishing around like she was looking for fis h to eat... so I put a pinkie in the water for her (sometimes she likes to fish for the food). So what does she do... she left that one in the water and went back over to the other side of the tank and decided to eat the pinkies that are on the plate.... So far she has devoured three pinkies, and looks like she is contemplating eating more. .....mind you, this is only her first spring, and she is measureing in at about 20 inches long.... Oh yeah, and she ate three pinkies just the day before yesterday........She has been really spastik all day too. She almost seems jumpy and she even recoiled back earlier today like she was going to strike.....I normally have to really bother her for her to do that..... I do not know what her trip is....(hypervigilance?)... Ok I think that she is stopping eating at three pinkies.

I don't know enough about your snakes to tell you for sure but what you described is at times do to temps that are too hot, especially what you said about the water bowl.

Like I said that is only one possiblility. The thing that I believe we all love most about Garters is their crazy tendencies and the fact that they are not always predictable like other snakes are.

Ok I just checked the thermometer thing.... and it is sitting on the bottom of the tank on the side with the under tank heater.... and it is running at 81.6 F ........Everything that i have read says that it should be running between 75 and 85... So I an not sure that the tank is too hot.....

doesn't seem like heat would be the problem
maybe is spring fever?

Possibly,.... she just seems to be really jumpy right now. Sorry but is the only thing I can think of to describe how she is acting.
