Hi and welcome. Im from Ohio. Glad that you got your Garter to eat

[Lexa]

Welcome from the UK! Well done for getting your snakey to eat - earthworms are great fun to watch them going after, aren't they? My snake always looks very confused when the worms shy away, as if he's wondering where on earth it's gone to...

Thank you all for the welcomes! I have posted some pics.

...trying to upload more pics at a time. These are some feeding pics. The first one I uploaded was from the first day I had him. I've since built a much bigger cage.

That is so very cool that he'll eat out of your hand. It took mine forever just to let me watch him eat. There's no way I'd put food on my hand for mine. He strikes fast and hard and while I know it wouldn't hurt too much, I'd probably jump, sending food and snake flying

Thanks, Tami I do think I've been lucky with this one so far. He/she has definitely become used to me by now...especially since I'm always fooling with something in his cage. I try not to make any sudden moves, even when he sometimes strikes at my fingers, but so far that's only when I'm dangling a worm in front of him. He only does it once and then settles down and waits for me to offer it to him in my palm. He loves them!. He's my first snake and my wife about freaked She didn't like it when I called and told her that I had found a snake and decided to keep it. I had already been to the pet store and bought a cage and some bedding or substrate. She is beginning to get used to him now...after 14 days
