    Wait, people actually believe that garters swallow their young? ...I've never heard that before.

    Sometimes I wish I could swallow my young but it wouldn't be for their protection...

    Re: Herps in the media

    I heard about the python too...largest python on record, right? I was under the impression that any larger garter can swallow a smaller garter if in a feeding frenzy and the smaller one is mistaken for food.

    Yes...I do believe there are days when I would swallow my son too.
