Jon's Garter Snake Thread ( Suzi )

[Foxrun402]

Both the girls seem to be doing fine... I haven't had a shed in a while but I have not noticed any signs of retained shed on either of them... I will have to get some new pictures of them up on here It's been a while since I have taken any good ones.... Xena has grown so much!

My friends kid also found a baby radix and is taking care of it.... I'm helping him learn all about them and supplying him with handouts I have left from what my garters have outgrown. Since I get my pinkies from RodentPro I just give him some of mine..... Kid is lucky I like snakes because he doesnt have to buy that snake food lol!

But I just wanted to let you all know Suzi and Xena are doing great in their bigger home.... Xena, Hoewever, Has claimed the big Bonzai tree as her own and WILL NOT come out unless she hear's me calling for her, or I wave food infront of her door LOL!

Hope you all are doing great. Pictures to come soon!

Edit: Took a few quick shots
Xena went all "come at me bro" when I put my phone in the tank, I was laughing so hard when this happened just now haha!


Xena


My big girl Suzi


Had Suzi for over a year now and she still looks healthy as ever and still eats anything that moves lol!

Glad I have all of you in my life to help along the way! major thanks to all of you in this community!

Thanks Steve! I was getting worried.... Now I just need one from Suzi.... lol

Xena got it all off except she tore near the tail tip.... I took her out and with a little water it came right off like magic! =D

They have both calmed down A LOT! I think now that Suzi has a companion she is much more docile and explores a lot more too.... Xena usually hides all the time and I rarely see her but just the other day I took out all the aspen and replaced it all fresh.... and today when I came home ther where both snuggled ontop of the big bonsai tree under the light! That's when I noticed Xena's color appeared way more vivid!

Wow that "coming at you" photo... too bad it wasn't in focus. The perspective makes it look like a floating snake face. What a trip.
