Generally sand gets a thumbs down. The caresheet has the pros and cons of the common substrates, Jon has already linked to it. Say "hi" in the welcome lounge.

Thanks J I'm just worried that Suzi has been alone for almost 10 months and may have become territorial to her surroundings... I hope they both get along once they are put together... I will be sure I have the day off when I do put Xena in with Suzi so I can monitor their behavior together.

Garters aren't territorial that I know of. They as a rule enjoy/put up with other garters.
In all my years of keeping garters I've never seen them refuse company.

Re: Jon's Garter Snake Thread ( Suzi )
from the stuff i have read here and some papers i cant see them being territorial considering them brumating in a den like they do and then the mating balls. how many other animals have you heard of mating in such a way? most of the time its a fight between animals like walruses and seals, very vicious fighting. although i could be wrong i have not had them for long or observed them in a communal setting.

Yes but since a baby she has been a "Lone Ranger" so to speak... and aggressive at that lol...
Maybe Xena will make her open up a bit and become a little more friendly... Suzi is only aggressive in the tank... and she doesn't eat in there... I take her out to eat without the scent of food anywhere on me lol... she still pretty much has that "I'm sleepin don't bother me" attitude 24/7 until she is out of her tank and realizes it me lol then she calms down after a short jog in the hands lol.
