I found an Albino Garden Snake

[Chondro788]

Looks to me like you are doing everything right!! She seems very healthy, you have done a great job, and once she matures, there are lots of us on here who would be willing to walk you through that process as well. I can't wait to see her as an adult!!!

Casper outgrew the little home so got this today. I guess Casper is a she but for some reason I feel inclined to say he all the time. Anyway she likes her Kleenex box cave the most but did explore the skull cave. I am most amazed so far about how much personality she has. I never knew they could be such an enjoyable pet. Until Casper I always thought of a snake as something like a spider or as a bee or fly or something to be afraid of. Had Casper not been a white snake I would likely have ran when I saw her. But for some reason I just picked her up with no fear and now we've become buddy's. My Godson enjoys her when he comes over but seems to enjoy the XBOX more so Casper has become mine I honestly don't believe he would take care of her so I'm keeping her here with me. I really enjoy her and am in awe of how she will look around an item just to see me. Don't know if that makes sense but if you block her view she will move so she can see me. She's got an extra large temper too and gets so mad when I would clean her home or change something in it. She has a little temper fit but then settles in again. It's so funny and interesting to watch. I would be devistated if anything would happen to her but understand what your saying about her being rare so if I can help the breeding line I'm hip and am open to working with anyone. I have never had a snake and am sorry for my ignorance with the whole thing but I do love her and want her to live on through offspring. So teach me what to do and lets all work together. I'm sorry I'm so attached to her I never intended to keep her for myself. It's crazy but I think I got the bug or something. If she ever gets to be too much for me or I feel I'm doing her harm have no fear I will just give her to someone here. I'm doing my best and I believe she is doing well and is happy too. So any input anyone has please be kind for my intentions are of good nature. Thank you for your support and Loving thoughts to you all

Reading this post made smile.
You have a bug for sure. The "Garter Love Bug" Once again they work their magic.
You've described the things that keep us all captivated to these snakes.
They are very engaging and provide us with much joy.
There is so much more for you to experience. I won't be a spoiler.

Shedding is a big concern for babies and especially albinos. Make sure Casper does a complete shed every time.
Inspected the shed for 2 eye caps and a complete tail shed.
I'm very glad to hear Casper is doing so well and that you are enjoying your garter snake time.

Listening to you here I think it is more than obvious that Casper is in very good hands and very lucky to have you for an owner. Yes, you definitely have the garter snake bug! Never apologize for being attached because that is a good thing! And please don't worry about not knowing what you were doing in the beginning...we all started somewhere...I had no idea what I was doing when I found my first garter snake. Of course you want to keep her for yourself...you have come to love and care for her and you are doing a wonderful job...we are here to help you every step of the way! You have many friends here now!

yes it looks like casper and the friendly host ...............really sorry for that folks i just can't let a pun go by

The photo of Casper coming out of the skull's eye socket reminded me of a scene in Indiana Jones...

Whether you knew anything about garters before you found Casper is irrelevant. I knew almost nothing about garters 3 months ago, I know a bit now, but the important thing is to know what you don't know and when to ask for advice.

We will know you've been properly assimilated when you post up to tell us you have a second garter. And the third. And forth....

Be careful at feeding time! don't let her swallow substrate.

[EasternGirl]

Oh wow...I didn't even notice her coming out of the eye socket until Chris said that...ha ha! That's great. I love the big pic of the tank too...she looks so adorable in that pic! Yes, be careful not to let her get any of the substrate on her food.

Here's a blue one I found this year. Wouldn't eat though and was thin and weak. Had to let it go.
