    Re: Intro

    No problem I do believe it must've been one of Steve's posts from a while back, where I read it. I just gave mine a pinkie for the first time the other day with a successful outcome!(He's been on silversides besides that)I got them from Petco. They were sold in little indivual packs of one and packs of three(frozen).

    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

    I certainly hope so. My main interest in the Easterns is because from what I read the others are much more likely to practice cannibalism, and I like the idea of raising some together. If it were not for that I'd consider the plains as well. I'd seen some lovely examples.

    This is where I had read about the cannibalism in different garter species. Housing - Gartersnake.info If it is not a worry with the plains, then I'm going to consider them quite closely.

    Anything you want to know about easterns...I'm here to help. I have a family of them and they are my favorite garter. They are actually the only garter you find in the wild around here. Welcome to the forum family!

    I didn't see T.radix (Plains garter) mentioned in the section about cannibalism.
    I don't consider food related incidents as not true cannibalism. These food related incidents will happen especially if younger/smaller snakes are housed together with larger snakes. This is why feedings must be monitored.
