    Re: Why are garters underrated?

    I personally believe that corn snakes should be the 'kids snakes' they are easier to take care of than garters. Garters are fast and skiddish, if I'm holding one of my garters and something moves they will suddenly shoot in the other direction and try to take off. Corn snakes are smooth and slow, easy to handle, they don't really let themselves drop and they have no problems taking a meal right on schedule, unlike my garters which sometimes I get fusturated because half of them don't want to eat

    I agree! They are much easier to feed. But then again most snakes are easier to feed!

    not my serpent right now for a few weeks she has been approaching the fuzzy, doing a little tongue flick and darting away as fast as possible. Frosty ended up getting a double meal last time I tried to feed serpent, came out of nowhere and NOM stole the fuzzy and ran away. I was like

    Should =/= how it is.

    You can't go catch a corn snake with ease in most places, however it's not uncommon to find a garter on your doorstep or in your yard and end up having the kids wanting to keep it. Kids are expensive, parents will take advantage of any free entertainment (garters) they can, none of them want to actually go out and invest in a snake + enclosure.

    I just checked google. O kurwa, nie wiedziałem. The results? Oh wow. I'm not even sure I can say it here. That's pretty bad. No online translator is all that great. It takes a human being to do it right but you have to pay for that.

    I see they at least fixed "Gracias mucho" which is what I used to get when translating "Thank you very much" to spanish.
