Hello!
I'm completely new to snakes, though I am familiar with other reptiles and amphibians (I have a bearded dragon and a mud turtle). Previously this week I was out in the country, and I managed to catch what I'm assuming to be a female hatchling red-sided garter snake, who I've named Fielding.
At the moment, she's in a five gallon with a heating pad, some damp sphagnum moss, hides, a water dish, etc. Cut up worms are offered to her daily, as she's too small for anything else, but I have yet to see her eat anything. She's very active, tongue-flicking, and is getting used to people.I'll have pictures up as soon as I can.

Re: Hi everyone :)
Thank you
And it seems I spoke too soon- I just checked on the worms I put in her feeding dish, and all of them are gone, finally. I'm relieved. XD

Re: Hi everyone :)
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.
