Lost Garter Snake

[Solarib]

Hello All, I joined this site a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I let the temperature in the cage get to hot and my garter died. The kids and myself are upset but know they are interested in corn snakes for next pet. How does the disposition of corn snakes and garters differ ??

Welcome.. Sorry to hear about your garter snake.

How did it get too hot??

Anyway, Corn snakes get quite a bit bigger, they are not as active, but other than that the care is about the same, except they will only eat rodents.

Sorry to hear the snake died.
Fix the heat problem and get another garter. Much more interesting then a corn snake(no offense meant)

Yes, didn't think of mentioning that. You may wanna get the set up all, well, set up, and get the heating under control before you aquire the new snake. And make sure to give the caresheet, that Steve linked, a good read through as well.

Garters, garters, garters!!

Hi and welcome to the forum! Sorry about your loss.

Garters are more active, while corn snakes are more sedentary.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Welcome to the forum and definitely get another garter! Much more interactive than a corn snake and more variety when it comes to food choices!
