    My New 20 Gallon

    I just got my new 20 gallon long tank.

    I just changed the bark that was inside to aspen. I think they like it a lot better. Zeus loves to burrow in it
    I am gonna keep zeus and Jesse together. They get along so well. Sometimes I will wake up in the morning and they will be sleeping together.

    Their new home has two hides, a piece of natural driftwood and a large bowl for swimming. It looks like they like it a lot better.

    The other wandering, Tobi, is kept by himself. He is not too friendly yet.

    I have included a pic of Jesse's latest shed. Right on time lol. She was really hungry after and ate 3 silversides! Nipping my finger once or twice. But she is learning to be calmer about taking food from your hand.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    I took Tobi, the male wandering garter, to a local greenbelt and released him. It had been a week since my cousin found him and all food that I have offered was rejected. I told her that it was best to let him go. I didnt want him to die in my care. She understood. I would love to find her a friendly snake that will eat well.

    Re-did the tank again. Added some plastic plants for some green. I think they like it a lot better.

    Here is Zeus being a little punk. He got out somehow last night. Decided to explore the apt. lol. Somehow he got onto the counter and into a box of cereal. I went to throw it out and he landed on the floor and darted under the stove. Good thing he came out for a worm. What a dork :P
