my first garter

I gotta agree with that, you just have to look.

ok so i got her a new really big cage i think its a 85 gallon

It's definitely not 85 gallon. A 55 gallon is a much bigger tank, 4 feet long X 12inch X18. It's difficult to tell from a pic. Please give me the measurements of the enclosure. That's all I need to determine the gallons, which is really irrelevant when looking for a screen top. I only need to know the dimensions of the floor space, not height.

I suspect it to be 30 inches long X 12 inches. If that's the case, there is a top for that tank which will fit a 20 gallon long, or a taller 30 gallon. I think you have a 30 gallon there.

Or I could be wrong. Either way, I know there's a screen top for it and I will find it for you and work with you to get it to you if I have to buy it online myself. The top you currently have is dangerous in terms of fire safety and to the snake. If I can prevent a tragedy here, it's worth it. Believe me, it's only a matter of time if you keep using that top.

ok so to my suprise i woke up and there was a little snake crusen around the tank i had a felling that mama was prego but i dident really know so far there is one dead and one alive should i be expecting more???????????????? i have a bunche of little tubes with drill holes in the can i put it in there or should i leave it with its mother?????????????? please answer asap

That most definately is a 50 or 55 gallon or whatever you want to call it dimensions of that tank look like a 36 x 18 x 18. You can tell by the little 5 gallon on its side and the slots under the tank.

I can't give advice for the newborns since I never had a litter of garters myself

ya the demtions are 36 x 12 x 12
and do u no if the mom will eat the baby???

[RedSidedSPR]

NO she won't eat them, but don't leave them with the mother... that's really all i can say. They can get hurt, so you want to take them out, and put them in another cage.

[twostripes42]

i meen 36 x 12 x 17

[twostripes42]
