    Re: Garter snake enclosure size?

    Have you decided how you're going to heat it yet?

    I haven't used any heating on him in the last 2 years I've kept him, if I do anything, it will be a simple lamp of some sorts. In the summer, it gets very warm in the house and I don't have AC so he should be happy.

    Re: Garter snake enclosure size?

    K got it all set up. Came down to needing substrate, latches, and weather stripping to make the top flush. Ended up getting some 4$ bark at home depot (meant for landscaping) or spending 30$ for fluffy papery stuff that I used to use, or 60$ for petco's bark (needed a lot). Got its water dish in with a few fish, got some branches from outside and some rocks and his old pot and he's exploring.
    Question arises is, can I have more than one garter in the enclosure? I'm hoping to add a female if possible or another male.
