    Re: my female checkerd garter snake

    Welcome to the forum.
    Keep in mind, that food source can carry parasites. Would be good to switch her over to worms/pinkies/frozen-thawed fish.
    Great looking snake.

    Looking forward to more pictures.

    Re: my female checkerd garter snake

    That is a lot! About 5 or 6 years ago before the pond behind my house got destroyed there were about half that amount. I caught a few to raise and watch them grow into bullfrogs but my cat ate them somehow. I have no idea what kind of cat would eat a bullfrog tadpole... But then again she eats plastic if we don't keep an eye on her
