Well, the male I've had for a year and a half is fairly skittish, he's a real pain to move around, but he eats well, he'll eat fuzzies right out of my hand. The wild caught female that I've had a little over a month is more active and less skittish and puts up with me moving her around better, and I've got her accepting fuzzies now using my "special trick." lol

lol i let my second estern go today because she bit me in the face lol and because she seemed really stressed out.reason number three i am getting new arrivals.

[Elliot]

lol those were very nice easterns that you found there, we don't have any garters here, I don't think that I've actually even seen a garter before!

[Josh]

wow that stinks i kept the other one though,

[Elliot]

Well I guess it's because the Ribbons fill their niche here, how's the other eastern doing?

[Josh]

shes doing she was eating like a pig and getting big but he threw it up so im a bit worried.

[Elliot]

That sucks, hope it does ok.

[Josh]

yea she seems to be more active at night. Although she does climb in the day.

Well this little guy (garter girl’s snake) shed last night so I spent some time trying to get a good photo. It looks like the dorsal stripe is completely broken in eight or nine places, so that along with the coloration would tend to say maritime, I guess. I have about given up trying to figure it out.
