Garters (or other snakes) and glass

[Greg'sGarters]

Whenever my eastern female sees me bring food over to the cage, she always seems to come up to the glass with her head held high, but it isn't until I open the lid and put the food in that she strikes. I think snakes can tell when there is glass there and when there isn't.

but it isn't until I open the lid and put the food in that she strikes.

With my Cuitzeo girl it isn't even a case of putting the food in, she knows that I will feed her at the door and she won't move from her position with her chin on the branch until I've opened the doors. If you've put the food into the viv it's not about the glass any more.
