I just picked up a Checkered Garter from a lady who had No clue what she was doing... She bought it for her 9 year old daughter but of course she did all the work for it....
Any one remember my little rant about a Big Al's fish store and me arguing with a employee about the care of Checkered Garters they had for sale?

Anyways This lady bought this little guy there in June(I saw them in late May) and was feeding him a pinkie mouse a week and few minnows in between. Said she was feeding crickets for awhile but stopped cause their chirping was annoying. lol She switched to small fuzzies little while ago cause he still seemed hungry after a small pinkie. She's been keeping him on shredded aspen. Made the mistake of putting a big heavy water dish on top of it... Got lucky he didn't get crushed.

Lol As she was telling me all this I kept shaking my head at each thing you guys just did by reading it over lol.
Every time I shook my head, she'd stop, I'd explain. Minnows are bad etc. Can't digest exoskeleton of any bugs etc. lol She kept telling me the pet store(Fish store now with reptiles Big Al's) told her to feed minnows or goldfish, crickets and the only correct thing was pinkie mice.

Oh well, He seems pretty healthy, he has grown since seeing him in the store. He is very calm, which was almost cause for concern but he is active n tongue flicking lots just chilled out. lol She said when she picked him from the other one at the store was because he sat there n looked at her while the other one was flipping out n jumping around trying to escape lol.

(I'll copy this and post it in my snake log later when I take pictures to add)

It's a shame that shop continues to spread incorrect and dangerous advice after you told them the proper care.Could you report the plonkers to someone?

Here we are.
He has a lot of brown on his black.

He isn't quite as squarely checkered as George is.

Seeing as I'm calling him a he, does any one see female? Or is he just a smaller endowed guy?

Very little green on his very white belly.

Held him up to George for a better idea of size comparison... I think after quarantine they will make great roomies!
