Great having you with us. This is a great place for you and your kids to learn about Garter snakes.

Welcome, Kris. Hope you enjoy it here and that we can help you! :-)

Thanks all. Honestly I'm not sure where the best place to start is. I've got several fish tanks that could be used to house a snake.... as for what needs to go in the tanks I'm not sure.

Here's a good place to start.... once you've read through this, please feel free to ask us your specific questions.

Welcome... our first garter was originally the kid's doing as well, but now they're all mine

We have one member who joined us mere months ago, had not a snakie in her house.

She's got more snakes now than quite a few of us already

It only takes one to "infect" you, before you know it your freezer is full of pinky mice, your searching for guppies and huntin' night crawlers.

I like the bright orange/red of corn snakes however it's illegal to house them within our city limits. No constrictors allowed, wich led us to garter snakes.

Pssst. Garter snakes come in red and orange also... (oops the secret is out)

Isn't that the truth! Very addicting!
