some more pics, please excuse the lint on the aquarium, i ran out of papertowel and dried the aquarium with a towel.. The dish on the far side is like a stew plate its deeper then normal ones and she seems to like stretching out across it. She really seems active tonight and checking everything out and liking the carefresh bedding, digging down it in and going back and forth from the rock to the water.

Yeah i cant believe how curious the snake is bout her, the snake will follow her from one end to the other and not acting aggressive at all. I was watching in total disbelief. I guess we know whose snake it is hahahaha

Cute! Our snakes follow my finger around the tank all the time. They are so great!

That's so cute! My snakes follow me when they can see/smell me bring the worm container into the room...

well this girl has taken to my daughter, she tries to strike me, hisses at me, and tries to do death rolls when i try and put stuff on her boo boo's. Oh well what can i say, we will just have to deal with eachother, im not about to release her when she is injured.

forgot to add that she is also soo amusing to watch, especially after some new stuff added to her enclosure today.

There you have it folks. I've been saying it all along. Those "python folks" out there that pay huge sums of currency for some new BP morph and insist that garter snakes are just "beginner snakes" or "garbage snakes" really don't know what they are missing!

If you're content with an undoubtedly beautiful and large snake that sits there, then maybe big snakes are for you.

If you see value and entertainment, along with beauty, and can appreciate an active and intelligent reptile, the garters are it. No need to look any further.

I am someone that has had all those "other" snakes and I absolutely agree!!!!!

Garters are awesome little snakes. I just wish this one would quit trying to bite me. I love the ones i have been seeing with the pretty blue colors on them, the puget sound garters i think they are called. If i do decide to get another that is the garter i want. For now this girl will keep me busy.

I found a way to use her rolling to help wash and get her ointment on her instead of work against me she rolls against the clothes i used to wash her wounds out, then i apply the vetericyn spray, let her dry, and then use a papertowel with some polysporin on it, and let her roll while i cup it around her firmly but gently and VOILA she applies it herself.

Way to go!
