    Epic Garter Snake!!

    This was taken a year ago, with my iPod and noob editing skills, I'll make a new, better one when I get a computer.

    I took a video of the entire feeding, but it was so long I decided to cut it to time it with the the music for an epic effect.

    Also, this was before I joined here, and didn't know about rosies. I don't feed them anymore.

    That snake is a really good fisher.

    My best fisher swims around the waterdish with her mouth open, luck fishing at its best

    Yeah he does that sometimes too, but usually is very good just doing that. I lobe watching him fish. I would still feed him live fish, but guppies are too small for him and expensive.=/

    only if feeder minnows were a couple inches in length instead of just the inch minnows

    It would be nice to fill my bigger snakes with a couple small fish rather than 20 minnows and still be hungry

    Yeah... I don't feed the minnows anymore though so.

    Alhought i like feeding small items and small meals, for more frequent feeding which IMO is better.

    Would that be the frontal lobe, or temporal?

    Since you had not yet joined, I have to say I am really impressed with your setup in the video.

    I would have expected less.

    Trust me, we had a guy on here twice your age who housed snakes in buckets.

    "Damn you autocorrect!"

    Thank you, the cage was fun for me back then, as it is now, so I still tried to make it look nice and be safe, even if I was clueless about Thiamnaise.

    It actually is still the same basic setup... Different plants, added suff, there are vines now, but pretty much the same. Different bedding...

    Great video. It really is fun to watch them fish. I think mine will be getting a little live snack soon
