Need advise from snake experts

[GarterNovice]

And you'll find plenty of support from everyone here. I knew absolutely nothing when I got my first snake and this forum has helped me out more than I could explain.

Hello & Welcome Aboard...

Seems you got some good answers & help already!!

Cool..I had a radix...LOL well I am concerned about housing as well...many things come into play with getting a garter or any other kind of snake...affordability..not just on food but housing...Its just me and my daughter and we have cats already...the only reason I thought the small green might be OK is I wouldn't have to upgrade tanks too much since they stay fairly small....and sounded cheap to feed. HMM.....well for now I have enough knowledge...if any more show up I can maybe keep them alive till it warms up...I'm sure if more show up...I'll be here asking if I'm doing it right....

Simone is by far my cheapest pet I spend maybe $15 dollars on nightcrawlers and pinkies for her last month and I still have a few pinkies left. vs $40-$50 a month on cat food, litter and toy's, I'm not even going to think about how much the dogs cost me a month.

Never i my wildest dream did I think I'd own a snake. Now that I do I wonder what took me so long to get one. The whole family spen hours just watching her. They are deffinately rewarding to keep.

The little beggers do grow on you.

Yeah I STILL miss my little one...thought it would fade but...
I'm going to keep a sharp eye out for a used tank/lid/setup, that i can afford. I already have an under tank heater I am hoping I can move from the plastic one to another tank without damaging it. (the heater) It wasn't cheap. If I can find an affordable setup I don't think I would mind getting another...problem is: How big of a tank will the snake eventually need? Whats the smallest I can go with and still be kind. And...do they get lonely? Or will I need to have 2 eventually?

Okay, This is my final offer. You make it down to Council Bluffs and I'll give you a tank/lid/food&water bowls/hide and the choice of two Radix babies. Guaranteed to give my hours of viewing and holding pleasure. Just let me know if this works for you. Just look at these little scrubs.
