Unusual Garter snake found in OR

Don't put a garter in with a corn snake. You'll end up stressing out the poor garter.

Oh, I was assuming the corn went with the eggs. Yeah if the corn is still in there don't put them together.

what kind of feeder fishes are you planning? Please tell us you read the care sheet and will not be using gold fish or minnows! Guppies n Platys are all good!

He looks rather dry... try giving him a moist moss hide, bet you he'll love it.

Oh and I believe he did say his corns are visiting the store, so tank would be empty but would need a good wash down. even the smell of a corn could stress him out.

More Pictures of this Mamba are needed!

I do have some sense I don't mix species of snake. The checkered garter at the petstore gets mollies, swordtails, guppies and platies. And he's nice enough to take his dead or alive. So usually there's a couple swimming in his water dish besides the expensive five dollar fancy guppies that decided to float upside down instead of being sold! And no I am not feeding him old dead fish. Any fish I do feed the one at the store has to look alive other than the fact its not moving anymore. Which means no green stomachs and the pupils have to be pitch black. Eyes become cloudy in a very short time so I know they're fresh. I did not know about the red worms. I'm glad I got a chance to read your site stuff before i thought about getting some.

Or in this case you could have a fat and happy garter! Beautiful snake! Hope he adjusts well to captivity and you guys spend quite a while together.
