    Re: Gravid snake

    Okay. She seems really frantic and I read a little bit about taking care of baby garters. I might just release her. She seems to be really out of it.... She has an inverted flower pot, water bowl, and newspaper as bedding. What would you guys suggest to do to calm her down?

    In addition to others' suggestions, I have found that it helps wild caught herps if you cloak the glass on aquaria, if that is where you have them contained. They do not understand glass... you can see through it and yet cannot pass through it. So I take black construction paper and tape it to all four sides of the enclosure, until the herp calms down and learns the limits of the new environment. Then I remove the paper from a small side of the tank, wait for any behavioral adjustment from the herp, and then remove another side... and so on.
