Baby Garter Snakes

Chris- i didnt mean to imply you were stupid or that you didnt know geography if thats how i can across im sorry. I just wasn't sure if you saw that she was from denver, and if you realised how fast it can get cold there, in fact i heard the passes outside of town are under chainlaw today due to snow. again sorry.

Stop worrying, I didn't take any offence. At the end of the day I suggested a course of action that was completely unsuitable for the place and climate and you're correct to correct that.

i didnt mean to come off rude to anyone, if i did im sorry. Im just trying to find a way to get these babies the food they need. Im glad one ate some fish, thats encouraging. If i could go there and help i would in a heartbeat. Ive been on hard times myself, but my animals always got fed, even if that meant collecting pop cans or beer bottles or pawning one of my possessions just to make sure they ate, i even fed my last box of cereal one time to my cows because i was out of grain, they needed it more, it wasnt much compared to the grain they were used to but it helped get them thru until i got paid.

I understand about rescues and money but i mean if she asked for help they might spare some pinkies, or some worms? to help get these babies eating.

Nickey, sorry i thought you were a guy, lol i have heard men and women go by nickey especially spelled that way, again i apologise..Do you have a paypal account i will send you the money to buy worms if thats what it takes to get these babies fed.

I do not have a paypal account but you and anyone else are free to send money, snake food, etc. in the mail. It would mean a lot.

by the time i got money sent to you from canada via the mail they most likely would be all dead, it takes two weeks for mail to come from canada to the u.s. We cannot send worms or pinkies or any of that through the mail either, customs rules.

I'm sending a sawbuck her way in the morning.

[dieselbaby]

not real sure what a sawbuck is lol but thanks steve i have been so concerned about these babies starving i been calling around and emailing everyone i know in colorado.

$10 dropped it off in front of the post office a few minutes ago.

[dieselbaby]

oh lmao ok. never heard that term before. cool. thats enough to get some pinkies, guppies, and worms.. YAY

[NickeyV]

well i can suggest calling these people to see if they can help colorado reptile humane society. or these people About Us | Rocky Mountain Reptile Rescue . If they wont take them i will find more numbers for you to call.

It sounds as though the deformed one needs to be put down if its in pain. Steve has a very humane way to do it. Also the last step is freezing the snake, and it could remain frozen until you decide to bury him/her.

Don't let them suffer, try getting some help from a reptile rescue. Im so sorry that you have lost babies already. You need to do something, and if you cant afford a few dollars for some guppies or worms, you need to get help for them. You cant let them starve. I know you arent doing this on purpose but none of us can help from so far away other then what has been suggested, Try those rescues and see if they will take in and adopt out those babies after they are eating. Or like steve said swing by some of the pet stores and swallow your pride and ask for their help or a donation of some worms or guppies.

keep us posted, and i will let you know when i hear back from my friend in north park area.

Hey I tried the Rocky Mountain Reptile Rescue and heard back from them. They said, "we can certainly help". I have to tell them and where we are located and they will schedule one of their officers to come pick them up. Should I do it? Give them all the ones that won't eat which is like only four. I got 2 of them to eat for the first time the day before yesterday and 2 didn't. Yesterday the same four didn't eat at all. Just wondering should I keep them and keep trying to feed them or give them to the rescue? I just hope they can be saved.

I think if you can't afford your pets, it is your responsiblity to find someone who can care for them. I don't mean to sound harsh or mean, but having a pet of any kind means you have that life in your hands. I understand not having money and being completely broke. I truly feel for you, but you need to do what is best for your pets. Again I'm sorry if this sounds mean or harsh. I hope things work out for you, please keep us posted.

In this situation I think letting them take all the snakes would be best.
This way you can better prepare and at a later time get a garter snake.
