Hello!

[Greg'sGarters]

Welcome to the best garter snake forum on planet earth! My cat once killed one of my ribbon snakes. She hasn't touched a snake since I introduced her to the water misting bottle.

Hello and welcome

Thanks!
Ruka (my cat) has never been aggressive to any of my reptiles. However, I'm not sure how she would do with a small snake, my corns are big enough that she knows they are not prey. So, better safe then sorry.

I think that is wise.

Hello and welcome!
Think about how small is small to you.
Radix, Easterner and checkered, among others can get over 30the inches long, easy.
Butlers and northwestern remain around 20 inches or less, and are far more slightly built. (Clothesline thickness, as opposed to garden hose diameter bodies.)
Ant the colors, all the lovely colors....

Small to me is less then 10ft, however my boyfriend considers my corns "large". My male corn is about 6ft, so I'm looking for snakes smaller or equal to that.
I work at the Audubon Society of Rhode Island, and I've taken care of ribbon snakes, and many garter snakes, mostly wild ones we caught for a few weeks for camp and then let go, so I have some experience with them. I was drawn to them because of all the colors, not to mention they eat similar things to some of the animals I already have. Still trying to figure out exactly what I want, and where I will be able to find a seller here in Maine xD
And Thank you
