    Re: Earthworms and Red wigglers

    Good thing you had the group to go to eh? With mine I really thought it was a Garter then with the help of great people here they told me its a brown snake and that its an adult. I thought it was a juv garter LOL. I did look thru google to see what I need and have been reading. I know someone told me a 10 is good to have so I am gonna change her into that tank. DekayBrown is gonna give me some more info. The kids here they think ohh coool we caught something and then they leave it. I kept telling them the cage needs to be cleaned out or go find some food for it blah blah. If I didnt remind them it would have died. So I took claim over the snake I dont mind at all and i really am hooked on her LOL or he. I check up on her all the time and talk to her yeah im nuts LOL I do that with all my pets. Heck even the praying mantis LOL. But yes I still do would like to have a garter. I live in the city so no garters here but my bfs kids live out in the country so next weekend when they are here ill tell them to try and find a SMALL garter for me LOL

    they also have other feeders and some good resources

    Here is the photos of my Xena eating while perched in my hand....






    And by the way, it was her that got me hooked on keeping snakes!

    The whole family is going to be devastated when this girl passes on to the big forest in the sky.

    That's exactly how it went with Sly, although I took over pretty quickly because it was obvious something wasn't right(the temps) and he's been just another one of my babies ever since We've kept praying mantids in the past, too. Awesome little critters!

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

    "You sure do have alot of snakes."

    Too many! Can you say obsessed?

    Numbers reduction is important right now, Adopting out some & releasing some of the indigenous snakes, they came from my yard, so they are returning home...

    I like to think of it as my 100 acre enclosure

    We've kept mantids every summer for years, and the last few times, when they've laid eggsacs, I've put them out in the garden. This is the first year I've actually had not one, but two successful hatchings. I've got babies about one inch long, and I've discovered several larger green ones that must have hatched earlier in the season. I'm hoping that from now on, I'll have them out there every year!
