Congratulazioni! Sono contento che mangiano per voi. Il mio serpenti piace molto anche il salmone.

Grazie (thanks).

Actually, upon advising my son who wanted to start having a "snake", I was sure that garters presented no feeding problems, and for that matter, very few problems at all!.

I just wanted to stress a couple of things, tho.
First, I have been enquirying and searching around in forums's small markets and breeders's blogs, in Italy, and NO ONE had thamnophis for sale.
And when I attended the fair last saturday, I understood why: the fashion now is all for elaphe, lampropeltis and python; namely there were about 1500 corn snakes, 2000 false corals and about 600 pythons and boas at the fair, and THREE thamnophis, two I got, and the other, a lone female, I should have gotten too, but I did not....

I envy you guys who have thamnophis in the yard! And by the way, the italian correspondent of your garter, the natrix natrix (Natrix natrix - Wikipedia ) is severely protected, as well as the other italian wild snakes (elaphe longissima, elaphe quatuorlineata, elaphe situla and elaphe scalaris, coluber viridiflavus, coronella austriaca)....
Plus the vipers.

Hugs all
