    Re: Our Smell is Important

    I've never really observed garters using smell under the water. It seems that they smell the water to determine if prey is present and then they go on a rampage. Im guessing that they could use it in the wild though seeing as some of the more aquatic species are able to hunt down trout and other large fish in large bodies of water.

    That's weird, when Snakey was a young one, I fed him in his water dish and he'd stick his tongue out when he had his head under the water. Everyone I have does that if they end up with food in the water dish.
