Do You Recommend Feeding Your Garters in a seperate Terrarium?

Winnie again today had baby rabbit drumsticks. I'd not washed my hands after cutting off the drumsticks and feeding Ripley his baby bunny... And Winnie bit me! I was more shocked than anything. She was trying her damndest - turning her head first one way then the other - trying to get my left 'dirty' finger in her mouth. There was nothing to be done but wait until she gave up. Which she finally did as she had a hold of the side of my finger near the first joint.

The bite's a wee bit tingley, but that's all. You can bbbaaarrrreeeelllllyyyy see two scratches smaller than what even a pin would make.

Naughty, NAUGHTY girl! Biting her muzzer! I guess she really like rabbit!

Ah... My first bad garter bite...
I was at the reptile show last month when I saw a nice parietalis for sale. I asked what the sex was and it was female. So the guy, with out me asking, took it out of the box it was and handed it to me. First came the musk. LOADS. Then the biting. It was horrible. She aimed for all the gaps in my hands and finally latched onto the upper side of the skin between my thumb and pointer finger. So I'm standing there, people staring at me, as this snake eats the living hell out of my hand. But I saw through it all; she was peeved at being out in the open, under a hot light, odd noises all around her...
Today she's a great eater, doesn't bite or musk while I handle her, not even when I had to use tape to remove her eye scales from a retained shed, and is very pleasant to me. But not to food. Her fitting name is Mizz Chopz. :P
They can be VERY nasty though. But not nearly as mean as Nerodia. *Shudder.* x.x

There's a wee teen-tiny red area, about the big end of a pin. Else you'd never know. I think next week I'm gonna take her a pinky. She's had four drumsticks in two weeks. I'm not trying to starve her but I don't want her a fat pig either. She quickly calmed down so I guess her brain caught up to her tummy and she went into the log hidey I'd gotten her.

I think I could feed Winnie until she either pucked or popped. She's an eating machine!

My Aqua never bit me yet, or musked. He goes all spaz, but no bites or musk yet, and we had him a year now.

Sorry, WILD nerodia. I've had some bad experiences with them...
Still want to keep one though. lol
