Yeah...Selena does some pretty funny things. She gets all geared up for her great escape....she'll lift her whole body up like she is standing, and tries to get up under the ledge to the lid of her enclosure...but then she will fall over like a tower toppling over sideways...it is hysterical. She also makes the cutest little burrows all over her substrate. We have burrows like that all over our yard...our yard has tons of garters. Selena was trapped in a spider web in our basement...that is how she came to be my pet. I am hoping to get some more babies in our basement in the spring and then maybe Selena will have some friends.

I just think garters are the cutest things...with their little heads and faces!

I should be feeding her in a separate tank? (I just read that). Oops...I'm not sure how she will handle that....she just started eating without being scared. She gets pretty freaked out when I put her in another tank to clean the one she is in.

I think she is a very gentle snake. She has never bit me or tried to bite me. She lets me pet her to wake her up....she is still afraid when I try to hold her...but she has never once been aggressive toward me.

How long do you leave light on for your snakes? Do you have night lamps for them?
