    Talking new to snakes...my first Garter!

    After much research on snakes, my mom and I decided on a Garter, specificaly an Albino Checkered, sooo we had one tracked down and ordered in for us by a local Herp store, and I just picked him up. he's 5 weeks old, so I actually have no idea if he is a boy or girl lol. anyway his name is Rook, and I wanted to introduce the little guy!



    this is my first snake, and I never even liked snakes before I started researching them lol, so I am sure I will have plenty of questions as time goes on

    Welcome to the forum, enjoy it here
    I also have an albino marcianus here, they are nice & fun animals. I recently put my albino together with my wildcolored, really a big contrast, but both very nice.

    Howdy and welcome to the forum Shayna. Nice looking little checkered, I think you'll find snake care to be really enjoyable, especially with garters. They just seem to have so much personality to them.
